Said Playing Like a Girl’s writer/director/producer Megan Harrington, who played basketball as a Lady Griz: “Working on this documentary gave me a greater understanding and appreciation for the resilient women who broke barriers so other little girls, like me, could dare to dream big. These amazing pioneers then passed the baton to the next generation, and the legacy continues. I am forever grateful for their courage and coaches, like Rob Selvig, who believed in their greatness as athletes when few did.”
The film’s executive producer, David L. Guffey, National Director of Family Theater Productions, remarked, “As wonderful as it has been to watch the performance of athletes like Caitlin Clark and the upswing in interest in women’s basketball, I am mindful of the pioneers in women’s hoops, who paved the way for enthusiasm we see today. At Family Theater Productions, we are pleased that PBS decided to make Playing Like a Girl: The House That Rob Built available to its audiences starting in November 2024, and we hope it helps fans appreciate the past and present of women’s basketball.”
