This. Is. The. Year.

In the heart of playoff season, CCCT invites you to nine innings of bittersweet comedy with the die-hards known only as the Bleacher Bums. The exasperation of defeat and the blood-pumping thrill of victory are viewed through the eyes of the most dedicated of fans (save one) watching the beloved Cubbie Bears tackle the arch-rivals: the St. Louis Cardinals. An unexpected love story of the highest  magnitude, Bleacher Bums reminds us that it’s never too late to have faith, and never too soon to start over.
