Syracuse Stage

Collaborative Arts and Open Arts instructor Rogelio Martinez will premiere his new play, "The National Pastime," at Syracuse Stage this month. With tensions heightened from the lead-up and aftermath of an election year, this psychological thriller follows Cuba and America as they play a dangerous game in the shadows, with their shared national pastimes – baseball and espionage – as their weapons of choice. The show will run from June 11 to 29, 2025. Tickets and more information about the show are available on the Syracuse Stage website.
