Lyceum Theatre "Damn Yankees" preview by Jill Renae Hicks

The sentiment toward the New York Yankees has remained eerily the same over time, so maybe that’s why “Damn Yankees” is still an oft-performed classic after more than 50 years. The Lyceum Theatre in Arrow Rock, a not-for-profit organization that culls talent from across the country, presents the comical tale of a man who sells his soul to the devil, “Mr. Applegate,” for his beloved underdog team, the Washington Senators, to beat the “damn Yankees” in the World Series. But it might come at the price of his wife and family. Quin Gresham directs the Lyceum’s adaptation, which began yesterday and runs through next Sunday.
