Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award as best play of the season, "That Championship Season" is an overwhelming critical and popular success, this brilliant, powerful play brings pathos, humor and deep compassion to its penetrating study of four former teammates who meet for a reunion with their high-school coach.

"...a serious, honorable, funny and wholly original new play…" —The New Yorker."...a drama of searing intensity, agonized compassion and consummate craftsmanship" —Time.

The company plans to move into the new 99 seat Waterfront South Theatre next season which is being built at the corner of 4th and Jasper Streets in Camden, New Jersey; the former home of Walt's Cafe a bar owned by Paprzycki's grandparents and the setting for his first play, "Last Rites".
