Such a pleasure getting the celebrate what’s poised to be a home run for Prime Video in their latest Series A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN! Based on the beloved 1992 Sports Dramedy of the same name, the Series gets eight episodes to delve deeper and more authentically into the stories of the women who comprise groundbreaking All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Team, the Rockford Peaches.
Taking place at Soho House, Toronto’s Kelly McCormack who stars as Jess McCready, spoke at a fireside chat about her experiences filming in isolation with her Castmates during the pandemic. Her character heads south, hailing from Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. And unlike the original Film, this Series co-created by starring Abbi Jacobson (Broad City), same-sex relationships and women of colour in the league are themes that properly are explored.
Some Snaps of McCormack and at the end of the Carousel, hear her speak about her role with TSN’s Kayla Grey:
Such a wonderful bash for a wonderful Series. There was even a Rockford Peach-inspired Cocktail!
