  • Baseball in the Shadows from Its Beginnings to Its End
    Baseball in the shadows from its beginnings to its end. Written by Rochel Garner Coleman and Mark Pierce Performed by Rochel Garner Coleman Funding provided by the Dodgers Organization & The Music Center of Los Angeles THE PROGRAM Shadowball is a one man show about Negro Leagues Baseball. Between World War I and II, Americans were adrift in the pain of the Great Depression. Rochel Coleman recreates the life and times of James Thomas “Cool Papa” Bell and the men of the Negro Leagues who strived to overcome perception and economics. Dressed in the uniforms of the times, a changing America comes to life through the journeys of a baseball player on the road. The focus of Mr. Coleman’s program is the recreation of a historical character in his pursuit of freedom. Jim Crow segregation’s growing rule coupled with economic hardship lead most of America to tighten it’s belt. Jobs that had been previously available for blacks were few and far between. Battling these odds, possessing little else than a love for the game and some skills, the young men of the Negro Leagues strived to become a part of America’s game. ABOUT ROCHEL GARNER COLEMAN III Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, Rochel started singing professionally at the age of nine. With the Men and Boy’s Choir of Christ Church Cathedral and then with the Berkshire Boy’s Choir, he distinguished himself as a soloist, performing with Pablo Cassals, King’s College Choir, and the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood. Opening the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Leonard Bernstein’s Mass, he had his first taste of acting.
