The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity

By Kristoffer Diaz
Directed by Alberto Bonilla

Opening January 27, 2023

Mace is a professional wrestler.  When he teams up with a young Indian man from Brooklyn, he sees his shot at the big time. But will he be allowed to take it?  Diaz' smart, comic look at pro wrestling and geopolitics is a theatrical smackdown of dazzling hip-hop language presented with a fresh, funny, high-octane flair raising pertinent questions about racial identity and pop culture in our society.

Winner of the 2011 Obie Award for Best New American Play and 2008 National Latino Playwriting Award
2010 Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Drama  

“Energetic and entertaining, and enthusiastically incorporates sports entertainment into traditional theater with a very clear political message.”
