    This screening will have an introduction and post-film discussion by Saint Joseph’s University Assistant Professor of Theatre and Film Gabrielle Miller.

    In a time when women’s sports were underestimated, A League of Their Own highlights the strength, determination, and sisterhood of the all-female baseball league. Part of our Women in Cinema Spotlight series, this iconic film directed by Penny Marshall celebrates the courage of women fighting for equality, with standout performances by Geena Davis and Madonna.

    About

    “Part of what makes A League of Their Own work is the wonderful cast led by Oscar-winner Hanks and the talented Davis.” – FlickDirect

    As America’s stock of athletic young men is depleted during World War II, a professional all-female baseball league springs up in the Midwest, funded by publicity-hungry candy maker Walter Harvey (Garry Marshall). Competitive sisters Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) and Kit Keller (Lori Petty) spar with each other, scout Ernie Capadino (Jon Lovitz) and grumpy has-been coach Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks) on their way to fame. Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell co-star as two of the sisters’ teammates.
