The Elborate Entrance of Chad Diety
Written by Kristoffer Diaz
Directed by Eddie TorresNow Through November 1
Victory Gardens Theatre
2433 N. Lincoln Ave.A Macedonio Guerra is a middle rank pro wrestler who may have discovered his ticket to the big time, an impossibly charismatic, hip-hop-influenced Indian kid from Brooklyn. Their boss has the perfect concept for their in-ring alter egos — pair them
as a team of terrorists. Diaz’ smart, comic look at pro wrestling, geopolitics, and refrigerator crispers is a theatrical smack down of dazzling hip-hop language (some of it strong). In addition to generating major buzz at Ignition, Chad was a finalist for the 2008 O'Neill Playwrights Conference, has since won Arizona Theater Company’s National Latino Playwriting Award. Diaz is also a recent addition to Teatro Vista, as one of the company’s newest resident playwrights.
