Marc Peter Reyna—Writer
Throughout his career with Covenant Players, a repertory theater company, Marc Peter Reyna served in a variety of capacities—actor, director, producer. He never imagined that ‘writer’ would be added to that list. The urge to write arrived with a lost shoebox of old baseball cards. The moment he smelled cardboard, stacked and banded into teams, and saw the faces of those old players looking up at him he began to tell a story--Diamond Stars is the result. Touring as an actor, Peter performed thousands of times in a variety of venues around the globe. He also co-wrote and performed in the one-man show entitled “Mungo!,” based on the life and legend of the 1930s Brooklyn Dodgers fireballer Van Lingle Mungo, which had a sold-out run at the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival with plans to tour at various baseball-themed venues throughout the country. Reyna has always had a deep love of baseball and stories that involve the game. More than once he has wished he could have been on hand for one of those historic events. The answer brought him to the old Polo Grounds for the 1934 All-Star Game, so he could experience it first hand with a group of individuals who love the game as much as he does. Thanks for coming along… |
