The Sandlot

The adventure of a lifetime, the summer of their dreams, the dog of their nightmares… The Sandlot! What’s more American than summertime and baseball? This July 21st, 2016 we bring you the coming of age film that ruled many of our childhoods. Join us and a few hundred of our closest friends as we recite every line of this classic summertime adventure. We’ll have tons of event extras, including those brought to you by our sponsors the Fresno Grizzlies! The film: Told from the perspective of Scotty Smalls, who is reminiscing on his first summer in Los Angeles. Smalls moves with his mother and stepfather to a new neighborhood, and struggles to make new friends. One afternoon, he decides to follow a group of neighborhood boys, and watches them play an improvised game of baseball at a small field, which they call the sandlot. The town’s best baseball player Benny "The Jet" Rodriquez takes him under his wing. During the summer Scotty Smalls get The Sandlot boys into a huge pickle when he hits a baseball signed by Babe Ruth into the Beast's backyard. No one has ever gone over the fence for fear of being eaten by the monstrous pup. Smalls and his friends begin engineering elaborate plans to recover the ball from the beast. Will they defeat the beast and forge lifelong friendships? Come and see! The doors to the theatre will open at 6:00pm with a pipe organ concert from Dick Cencibaugh at 6:20pm. The program begins promptly at 7:00pm. Concessions will be available in the theatre at a much more affordable price than modern Cineplex’s, and those who are interested in having an adult beverage can head upstairs to grab a drink at the Warnors Mezzanine bar (Grown-Ups ONLY). Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the www.warnors.org ticketing page, at the door when it opens that evening at 6pm, or at the Box Office M-F 9-5. *Children 12 and under are FREE!
