Sports: for some, a trivial diversion; for many others, a way to perceive and experience something greater than ourselves. Over a ten-year span, for two friends, it becomes a means to articulate everything they would otherwise be unable to express.
Sports. The word with various meanings, but always seems to perpetuate a game, a sparring of two teams or two people. This battle is well done on-stage with Rec Room Arts, King James. Rajiv Joseph’s expert play book ends the friendship of two male Cavaliers fans at the start of Lebron James career with the Cleveland team, and ends with the Cavalier winning the NBA finals in 2016. The ups and downs of the pair of friends, Matt (Blake Weir) and Shawn (Antonio Lasanta), guides the stage as a reflection of how basketball brings people together, and also how it can separate them.
Rec Room Arts will present the regional premiere of KING JAMES by Pulitzer Prize nominated playwright Rajiv Joseph and directed by Philip Kershaw. Learn more about the show and see how to purchase tickets.
