PRESS RELEASE – Two community-minded organizations, both located in Downtown Greenville’s Historic West End have come together to bring baseball and entertainment fans together with a unique experience. The Warehouse Theatre and the Greenville Drive announced today a partnership on a new production titled, “Something More Than a Game.”
Directed by Chip Egan, “Something More Than A Game” is the story about a father, his daughters and a box full of evidence that may or may not prove or disprove, once and for all, the guilt, innocence or unwitting participation of Greenville native “Shoeless” Joe Jackson in the 1919 World Series scandal, known as the Chicago “Black Sox.”
“The Drive has been a great asset ensuring that baseball thrives in the Upstate community, especially in the Historic West End of Downtown Greenville,” noted Paul Savas, Executive and Artistic Director of the Warehouse Theatre. “We are proud to partner with Craig Brown, Mike deMaine and the entire Drive organization to bring this exciting show about Greenville’s-own “Shoeless” Joe Jackson to the Warehouse Theatre.”
Opening Night for “Something More Than A Game” is Friday, May 27th at the Warehouse Theater with curtain set to drop at 8 PM. Tickets are $25 for adults, $24 for seniors (65 and older), and $15 for students and children. Additional showings of “Something More Than A Game” are set for May 28th and 29th, June 2nd-5th, and June 9th-11th.

This is a prime example of two organizations in the West End working hand-in-hand on a very intriguing project that brings our two uniquely defined customers together.”
