'The Chief' is back for its farewell performances

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "At first glance, the idea of combining sports and theater is sure to produce a match doomed by irreconcilable differences.
And yet, a remarkable number of stage plays and revues have surfaced recently -- in some cases repeatedly -- that do just that."

Generally, I'm not a fan of combining sports and theater, movies, or television. Now, this dislike is not because I dislike sports, it infact the exact opposite. It is very hard, if not impossible, for any of these outlets to really capture what a sport feels like for a viewer. Baseball is a little easier, since well, the game moves slower, which I guess is why it's the one most commonly done. I would be interested to see how a staging of a story revolving around hockey would turn out.
