Honus and Me tells the story of Joe Stoshak, a young baseball fanatic who stumbles upon the most valuable baseball card of all time while cleaning his neithbor's attic. The card acts as a time travel portal and young Joe is suddenly transported back in time to the seventh inning of the 1909 World Series, where Wagner imparts upon him the confidence and wisdom he needs both in baseball and in life.

In the Steppenwolf Upstairs Theatre

In this homage to his Midwestern childhood, Bradbury brings to life one unforgettable summer full of skinned knees, the smell of freshly cut grass, squishy new sneakers, time machines and a fortune telling Tarot witch. Bradbury's magical story is a sensory explosion that reminds us to cherish the simple pleasures of youth.
