Into just over an hour, The Jammer packs multiple roller derby sequences, a riot, a roller coaster ride, vomit, spit, blood, sex, and love. “It’s a play about a man, born to skate, who is torn between the appeal of life (literally) in the fast lane and the love of a woman,” says director Greg Felden. “It asks those eternal questions: Can a man love two women at once? Should he live a simple life at home or hit the road and follow his dream? Who has the world’s best five stride?” The Jammer: a Roller Derby Love Story – it’s the King Lear of roller derby plays. The cast of The Jammer includes: Billy Eugene Jones (A Raisin in the Sun) as Lenny Ringle, Jason Lindner as Bert Feinberg, Peter Macon (Drowning Crow) as Charlie Heartbreak, Andrew Guillarte as Father Domingo, James Reynolds as Father Kosciusko, Kevin Rich as Jack Lovington, and Jeanine Serralles (Hold Please) as Lindy Batello. The design team for The Jammer is: Sandra Goldmark (The Mystery Plays), set design; Anne Kenney (“Strangers with Candy”), costume design; Scott Bolman (The Moonlight Room), lighting design; and Daniel Baker (The Mystery Plays), sound design. Rolin Jones received his MFA in Playwriting from Yale in May 2004. The Jammer began as a workshop production in the playwriting program during Jones’ second year of study. During his first year, Jones wrote The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow which had its world premiere at South Coast Repertory Theater, subsequent productions at The Old Globe in San Diego, Studio Theatre in Washington D.C. and will play Yale Repertory Theatre this fall where he will be in residence through a NEA/TCG Theatre Residency Grant for Playwrights. The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow won Orange County Weekly’s Best New Play Award and the American Theater Critics Association’s 2004 Elizabeth Osborne Award for an Emerging Playwright.
