Great play about a fascinating person. MPR brought this man to life so we could experience the highs and lows of an amazing character from days gone by. You don't have to be a baseball fan to enjoy MUNGO. Bravo! ...

The writers and actor wrote a well thought out, witty, and original play about the life of a little known baseball player named Van Lingle Mungo.

It really is a one of a kind show. ...
