Gregory's Touchdown Jesus Selected for Play Lab

in

Touchdown Jesus, Gregory's new full-length play about the long-term effects of concussions on pro athletes, was selected for the 2010 Play Lab at the Last Frontier Theatre Conference.

Following the forced retirement of a famous pro football quarterback, Touchdown Jesus explores a timeless question – what do you do in life when life is done with you? – through a subject ripped from the headlines. 

The main character suffers from football-related brain trauma.  Gregory, who played 10 years of football from pee wee through high school, wrote the first draft of Touchdown Jesus long before the issue recently rose to national prominence in The New York Times, Malcolm Gladwell's essay in The New Yorker, and ongoing congressional hearings.
