Hickory Community Theatre is Bringing the World of Professional Wresting to the Stage with THE ELABORATE ENTRANCE OF CHAD DEITY
The Elaborate Entrance Of Chad Deity follows the life of wrestler Macedonio “Mace” Guerra. As a lifelong fan, he has followed wrestling only to become the guy paid to lose to bigger-name stars in the ring. When Mace meets V.P., a young Indian man from Brooklyn, they propose to work as a team. The wrestling execs go for it, but pitch them as “terrorists” in the ring. Unspoken racism, politics, comedy and courage are all woven into this play that leaves it all on the mat.
Performances of this Obie Award-winning play will be July 31 through August 9 in the Jeffers Theatre. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:30pm.
