The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity

Colony Theatre
1040 Lincoln Rd. Miami Beach

Catch-22 satirized the madness of war. 1984 took aim at a totalitarian surveillance state. Kristoffer Diaz's Pulitzer Prize finalist drama The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity sets its satirical sights on our over-the-top modern-day world of politics-as-reality-TV, as seen through the lens of "one of the most profound expressions of the ideals of this damn nation" -- pro wrestling. This adrenaline-fueled drama takes on racial stereotypes and the battle for the American soul as it uses the manufactured, testosterone-filled excesses of wrestling as a parable for political manipulation. Now, Miami New Drama and ASOLO REP bring this acclaimed show to the Colony Theatre.
