Lombardi |
New York |
More
than just the game.
Lombardi, a new American play from Academy Award-winning
playwright Eric Simonson, is based on the best-selling Vince
Lombardi biography “When Pride Still Mattered”, by Pulitzer
Prize-winning author David Maraniss.
Sport produces great human drama and there is no greater sports
icon to bring to theatrical life than a man recognized not only as
one of the greatest coaches of all time, but one of the most
compelling and oft-quoted individuals in American pop culture in
the 20th century. Though football’s Super Bowl trophy is named
for him, so few know the real story of Vince Lombardi the man –
his inspiration, his passion, and ability to drive people to
achieve what they never thought possible. In a time when people
continue to look for shortcuts to success, his story demonstrates
that hard work, discipline, respect and time are the crucial
elements to victory.
Cast members

Lauria, Judith Light, Keith Nobbs, Bill Dawes, Robert Christopher
Riley, and Chris Sullivan.
