It was performed in a shortened version at the 2018 St. Louis Fringe Festival, and audiences responded enthusiastically and critics raved. Snoops Theatre Thoughts said "A delightful show that's part personal memoir, part history lesson, part nostalgia, and all fascinating. A difficult prove to describe but what information technology is is fantabulous." Limelight said "Hanrahan jumps from omniscient narrator to 15-year former moving-picture show fanatic to baseball and theatre historian, the audience hanging on every give-and-take. The Cardinals are the talk of the boondocks once again. This show should exist the talk of the town, besides!"

"Now Playing Third Base for the St. Louis Cardinals…Bond, James Bond," concerns a teen-historic period boy in 1964. JFK's bump-off still casts a pall on the nation.

And when a new picture show hero hits the screens that summer, a bunch of boys on a baseball field have their starting time theatre experience when one of their gang offers a xxx-minute i-man show of "From Russia with Beloved." Throughout, the playwright draws links between what's happened and happening – from JFK to James Bond, from segregation in St. Louis to segregation in baseball's Southern Leagues and Florida stadiums where The Beatles were supposed to play, from WWII to British film production crews and JFK hit squads, from the starting time cave man who stood up by the fire to the theatre musings of Peter Brook…all of it swirling in front of the eyes of a young boy, and the retention of that fourth dimension.
