Eddie Frierson’s MATTY: an Evening with Christy Mathewson

Get ready for a grand slam of storytelling with Eddie Frierson’s MATTY: an Evening with Christy Mathewson. Back for a special two-show run, this award-winning solo performance dives deep into the life and legacy of Christy Mathewson — Hall of Fame pitcher, war hero, author, and all-around American icon. Whether you're a die-hard baseball fan or just in it for a compelling human story, “MATTY” hits it out of the park. With Frierson's gripping performance and years of research behind every word, this show brings the golden age of baseball to life in a way that’s both heartfelt and humorous. Originally performed at Santa Monica Playhouse in 1989, “Matty” returns to where it all began, reminding us why we fell in love with America’s pastime in the first place. Catch it while you can — it’s only here for two performances!
