What Would Jeter Do?  Best Medicine Rep, Gaithersburg’s home for professional theater, presents a free reading of Derek Jeter Makes the Play, a comedy of high expectations by Robin Rothstein, directed by John Morogiello.  Sunday, October 8, 2017 at 3:00 pm in the Community Room of the Lakeforest Mall (701 Russell Ave. Gaithersburg, at the green flower entrance between Ruby Tuesday and Sears).

Jackie, a young, salt of the earth dental hygienist is at a crossroad. It’s July 2011 and as her Yankee hero, Derek Jeter approaches his 3,000th hit milestone, Jackie realizes that her long-term relationship with fellow die-hard Jeter fan, Sal, is on the Disabled List. Her commitment to Sal is tested when a charming, new patient appears in her life, offering the dreamy possibility of marriage, home and adventure. Is Jackie and Sal’s mutual passion for Derek Jeter the only thing keeping them together? Can Derek help Jackie find her way back to love?
