OGDENSBURG – Ogdensburg Command Performances will present the one-man play Runt of the Litter Tuesday, Oct. 25 at the George Hall Auditorium, Ogdensburg Free Academy with curtain rising at 7:45 p.m.

The play opens in the final hour of Jack Henry’s lifelong dream, only one thing stands in his way – his brother.

The play looks at what happens to two brothers in a family of over-achievers: when their parents assure their oldest son he is destined for football superstardom, while their youngest son appears too small to compete, a line in the family sand is drawn that colors the rest of their lives.

This is the semi-autobiographical account of Bo Eason’s life and career as the star safety for the Houston Oilers in the 1980s.

This superb and substantive one-man show written and performed by Eason has across-the-board appeal for everyone from sports-enthusiasts to theatre-lovers and leaves them wanting to see it again and again. The New York Times hailed it as “One of the most powerful plays…in the last decade.” Variety says, “Eason delivers.”
