Stray Cat Theatre Closes Season with THE ELABORATE ENTRANCE OF CHAD DEITY, Now thru 5/17

Stray Cat Theatre presents The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity by Kristoffer Diaz, directed by Ron May, running tonight, April 25th 2014 - Saturday, May 17th, 2014. A kick-ass comedy. For real.

Finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, THE ELABORATE ENTRANCE OF CHAD DEITY is a drop-kicking, body-slamming, balls-out theatrical happening set in the larger-than-life world of professional wrestling. Macedonio "Mace" Guerra plays the fall-guy for mega-successful "THE" Wrestling League, losing again and again to the impossibly charismatic champ Chad Deity. When Mace discovers a young Indian-American Brooklyn kid whose charisma rivals that of Chad's, Mace decides to get him a job in the company. Only problem is, the boss has a very specific plan for the duo: put them onscreen as terrorists.
