Circle Theatre will present The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, by Obie Award-winning playwright Kristoffer Diaz from October 3 through 26th. This razor-sharp satire body-slams its way through the glitz, glam, and gut-wrenching realities of pro-wrestling and media stereotypes. This show throws you right into the ring, introducing an unforgettable tag team: Macedonio “Mace” Guerra and Vigneshwar “VP” Paduar. But this isn't just about wrestling. It's about slamming down stereotypes, fighting against prejudice, and locking in on the uncomfortable truths of racism and politics lurking in mass media. So, gear up for a high-voltage theatrical event that doesn't just play to win—it fights for what matters.

“Everything has it’s season, everything has it’s time..” So goes the lyrics of “Corner of the Sky”, one of the most well-known songs from Stephen Schwartz’ and Roger O. Hirson’s Tony award winning musical, PIPPIN. And it seems, that for the Garden Theatre’s latest production of this classic, now is the season and the time for a production of PIPPIN that not only brings this story to life for a new generation but does so in a new and inclusive way - incorporating deaf actors and American Sign Language (ASL) at the very heart of the show. I am pleased to say that this new approach works marvelously well – elevating the performance by adding elements that give new meaning to the story unfolding on stage and creating an evening of theatre that is magical, memorable, and unlike anything you are likely to have seen before.
