'Lombardi' tonight at CdA Summer Theatre at the Kroc Center



Don't miss this staged reading about one of sports' legendary heroes. Sport produces great human drama, and there is no greater sports icon to bring to theatrical life than Hall of Fame football coach Vince Lombardi, unquestionably one of the most inspirational and quotable personalities of all time. Though football's Super Bowl trophy is named for him, few know the real story of Lombardi the man - his inspiration, his passions and ability to drive people to achieve what they never thought possible.

Lombardi is based on the best-selling biography When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi by Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Maraniss, and was written by Academy Award winner Eric Simonson.

He has worked as a courtroom sketch artist for local media as well as CNN, ABC, PBS, and the Associated Press covering high profile cases such as Ruby Ridge, the siege at Waco, and Aryan Nations in Coeur d'Alene.
