Kristoffer Diaz’s brilliant, Pulitzer Prize-finalist comedy-satire 'The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity' arrived Off-Broadway at Second Stage Theatre’s Tony Kiser Theatre in 2010, capturing the Obie Award for Best New American Play. The fast-paced, hyper-kinetic production uses the over-the-top, pyrotechnic universe of professional corporate wrestling as a savage arena to launch a sharp critique of racism, media manipulation, and the commercialization of cultural stereotypes in America, tracking an exceptionally talented under-card wrestler who is paid to lose to a flashy champion. Directed with signature physical wit by Edward Torres, the production starred Desmin Borges and Usman Ally.
