Forward Theater Presents the Wisconsin Premiere of KING JAMES
Forward Theater begins the 2024-25 season with Wisconsin premiere of King James, Sept. 12-29.
To kickoff the 2024-25 season, Forward Theater Company will present King James by Rajiv Joseph. Directed by Mikael Burke. Performances are in the Playhouse at Overture Center for the Arts, September 12-29.
THE STORY
“King” LeBron James was just the hero that Cleveland needed. One of the greatest NBA players to ever hit the court, his influence brought promise and renewal to an entire city. Set against the backdrop of James' electrifying basketball career, this fast-paced comedy chronicles the turbulent bond between two die-hard fans, whose intertwined fortunes are tied to those of their idol. A hilarious and heartfelt exploration of loyalty, legacy, and the shared moments that define us.
