The baseball diamond? "Blue City", the festival's fourth new Canadian play this season, is about a women's fastball team in a small town. In addition to regular rehearsals, the actors have taken time out to get pointers from members of the local women's teams.

Doug Bale, drama critic for the London Free Press (considered eminently neutral by both sides) was one of the umpires.
