JACKIE ROBINSON: A GAME APART is a powerful lesson of courage through dedication, perseverance, and leadership. Award -winning playwright and performer Mike Wiley gives students a glimpse of life during a bygone era of separate and unequal locker rooms, and the real person behind the legend.  
 
Jackie Robinson: Game Apart is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Georgia Council for the Arts. 

Content Advisory: Mike Wiley’s documentary theatre productions are dramatically rendered stories based on historical fact. The dramas are presented with intention that they help to shine light and open dialogue by sharing stories of individuals and events of human and civil rights struggle, strength, hope, failure and accomplishment. These stories are part of the American historical narrative. Occasional use of language or terminology accurate to an event’s period or setting may be viewed by some as offensive or inappropriate — but by avoiding such language, the historical truth of the portrayal becomes less authentic. Thank you for your understanding.
