Let’s get ready to stumble.  Failing to generate the rowdy audience reaction so essential to professional wrestling and plays about it, dead air and missed cues managed to pile-drive and pin this Karamu Theatre production of  "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Diety."

“The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity” is just that…Elaborate.  A tremendous amount of effort has been put into this play to give you the “real wrestling experience”.  Even if you are not a fan of wrestling, see this for the exceptional performances and body slams.
