Toni Stone Production: Young Professionals Nights
Black Remote She is excited about our partnership with Playhouse on Park in West Hartford, CT for their upcoming Toni Stone Production, an original play inspired by the book Curveball, The Remarkable Story of Toni Stone by Martha Ackmann.

Against all odds, Toni Stone blazes a path in the male-dominated sports world, shattering expectations and creating her own set of rules. Follow Toni’s journey as she fights for love, equality and a chance to do what she wants the most — play baseball.

The Prom: Youth Professionals Night
Black Remote She is excited to share another partnership with Playhouse on Park for their production of The Prom, a musical about a small-town Indiana prom based on an original concept by Jack Viiertel.
A troupe of hilarious, self-absorbed and fading Broadway stars shake up a small Indiana town as they rally behind a teen who wants to go to the prom with her girlfriend.
Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, THE PROM expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever. A story of love, acceptance, and embracing the person you were meant to be.
RSVP here for Youth Professionals Night (ages 35 and under) for $25 ticket, which includes a networking reception (and meet and greet with BRS founder) at 6:00PM with snacks and drinks, followed by a performance at 7:30PM.
