Join Arena Stage on September 26 at 7:30 p.m. for a FREE live simulcast of Lydia R. Diamond's Toni Stone.

We're headed to the ballpark! Join us on Sunday, September 26 at 7:30 p.m. for a live simulcast of "Toni Stone" at Nationals Park.

History is filled with trailblazers and Toni Stone was one of them. Considered a pioneer, Toni Stone is the first woman to play baseball in the Negro Leagues, also making her the first woman to play professionally in a men’s league in the 1950s. Against all odds, Stone shattered expectations and created her own set of rules in the male-dominated sports world. Based on Martha Ackmann’s book Curveball: The Remarkable Story of Toni Stone, award-winning playwright Lydia R. Diamond (Smart People, The Bluest Eye) tells the dynamic story of Stone’s journey of perseverance and resilience just to do what she loved the most — play baseball.
