The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity

Kristoffer Diaz's incredible story of the intersection of art, power, wrestling and politics, deserves the bells, whistles and action-packed moves it gets in this Capital Stage production. In addition to the incredible Andrew Joseph Perez (Macedonia “The Mace” Guerra)—whose performance is mind-bogglingly good—it has an all-star cast in Randall King (promoter Everett K. Olson); Donald Paul (the charismatic champion Chad Deity); Rushi Kota (the smooth-talking, code-switching Vigneshwar Paduar); and James Long as three different pro wrestlers. W 7pm; Th, F, Sa 8 pm; Su 2pm; Through 8/11. $22-$35. Capital Stage, 2215 J St.; (916) 995-5464; www.capstage.org.
