PhD Theater


Welcome to PhD Theater

The purpose of PhD Theater is to showcase cinematic works that will help you get your PhD in life – through baseball.  During our next podcast featuring the Cactus League (Episode 44, release date: February 25, 2011) we will be reviewing the 2010 movie, Fantasyland.

Before the 2004 baseball season, Sam Walker was a happily married, tie‐wearing sportswriter leading a responsible and well‐rounded life. But by the time that season was over, he had spent tens of thousands of dollars, traveled 19,000 miles, missed 3 weddings and a funeral, and ignored a raging fire in a neighbor’s apartment.
