THE ELABORATE ENTRANCE OF CHAD DEITY by Kristoffer Diaz

Due to unforeseen complications with our performance space at The Butcher Block Mill, our February 15th and 16th performances were unfortunately cancelled. Luckily, the good people at Fete Music graciously offered their performance space to us, and we will be presenting, for ONE NIGHT ONLY, a final performance on February 17! Don't miss out!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, from the corner of Chicago's rich theater scene, weighing in with a unique combo of vigorous physicality and wickedly intelligent humor, please put your hands together for The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, a vibrantly entertaining, insightful new play about -- wait for it -- professional wrestling." -Variety

Kristoffer Diaz's Putlitzer Prize nominated play "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity" is a serious minded comedy about wrestling, geopolitics, and raisin bread.

Wilbury Group Artistic Director Josh Short (The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) directs Amos Hamrick as Chad Deity (When Mahalia Sings at Mixed Magic Theatre), Ben Gracia (After the Revolution at The Gamm), Vince Petronio (An Inspector Calls at 2nd Story Theatre), Stuart Wilson (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson at The Wilbury Group) and Wilbury Group favorite Jo An Peralta as our hero Macedonio Guerra in Kristoffer Diaz's Obie Award-winning critique of pop culture and political correctness that crackles with what the New York Times calls the "pop of a galloping, honest-to-God, all-American satire".
