X's and O's (A Football Love Story)

Berkeley Repertory Theatre
2025 Addison Street Berkeley

Are you ready for some football? America's favorite sport is intricately woven into our culture and rituals, yet its increasingly traumatic effect on players and their families has us reexamining its place in our country's story. Using interviews with players, their families and their fans, playwright (and football superfan) KJ Sanchez, along with Jenny Mercein, crafts a fascinating and hard-hitting docudrama that examines our country's passion for a sport that's at once generous and dangerous, life-giving yet lethal. X's and O's (A Football Love Story) is as visceral, emotional and theatrical as the game itself.
