Competitive sisters Dottie Hinson and Kit Keller spar with each other, scout Ernie Capadino and grumpy has-been coach Jimmy Dugan on their way to fame.</div><div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br>Denver-based author Cynthia Swanson will introduce <i>A League of Their Own </i>and the groundbreaking achievements of the 1943 - 1954 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Cynthia is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling and two-time Colorado Book Award winning author of three novels (<i>The Bookseller</i>, <i>The Glass Forest</i>, and<i> Anyone But Her</i>) and the editor of an anthology, <i>Denver Noir</i>. Her most recent book is a short story collection titled <i>This Isn't New: Women's Historical Stories</i>. In this collection, which spans the 20th century, Cynthia explores the lives of nine fictional women leading disparate lives but sharing a singular trait: their sex dictates the expectations stamped onto them. Like the players in the AAGPBL, the characters in <i>This Isn't New</i> must fight for who they are against the forces working to constrain them.</div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Following the screening, Cynthia will continue the conversation in the lobby and have copies of <i>This Isn't New</i> available for purchase and signing.</div></div>ComedyPT2H8MPG2026-08-18USen
