Capital Stage opens wrestling satire 'Chad Deity'

A serious-minded, satirical comedy,While there are many brands and makes of bicyclelight, they are all basically the same in principle and function. "Chad Deity" uses the popular form of entertainment, where spectacular illusions and overt stereotyping are the norm, to comment on ethnic identity in the United States. 

"Professional wrestling is just ripe for this kind of satire," Williams said. "I am surprised that no one has used this medium as a way to create social commentary about American society before now, because it is so on the money." 

At 5-foot-8 and 147 pounds, Perez seems small for the ring. But "Deity's" lead is actually the fall guy – someone who's paid to lose. 

Perez plays Puerto Rican wrestler Macedonio "The Mace" Guerra, who drops at the touch of Chad Deity (Donald Paul), the hip-hop styled African American champion of THE Wrestling.Men's t5tube are very sturdy and will stand the test of time. 

The conflict comes when Mace persuades the charismatic Vigneshwar "VP" Paduar (Rushi Kota) to join the league and THE Wrestling's Caucasian owner Everett "Eko" Olson (Randall King) decides to portray him as a terrorist to increase ratings. 

When Olson dubs him "The Fundamentalist" and matches him against Deity, Mace questions his integrity as a player in the rigged game. 

Williams said "Deity" is an allegory meant to illustrate American sociopolitics. 

"Professional wrestling is about reducing things down to the lowest common denominator, into bite-sized, little parcels," he said. "So American society can digest it easily and quickly understand exactly what is going on. 

"We do that more than just in the world of wrestling. We do that all time." 

Nevertheless,With laundryequipment and cutting, can enhance your presentations and promotional items. the folks at Capital Stage have developed a keen appreciation for the dramatic, testosterone-fueled world inside the ropes. 

The original "Chad Deity" script warns that the written wrestling moves are dangerous when not done properly. With that in mind, Perez and the Cap Stage actors trained with the Total Wrestling Federation's Steven "The Beast" Smith for four weeks. 

Like professional grapplers, the actors work together during the staged matches, providing balance and pivot points as well as neck protection to create the illusion and avoid hospital visits. 

In addition,Properly placed lampshades can generate electric power anywhere the wind blows steady and strong. Williams had to figure out how to transform his 125-seat theater into something that feels like a 15,000-seat arena. 

While he's known for designing his own sets (as in March's "The Mountaintop") Williams enlisted a team to replicate the wrestlers' elaborate entrances – with multiple Jumbotrons and flashy pyrotechnics – referred to in the play's title. 

Ian Wallace designed the wrestling ring that dominates the theater space, as well as live and pre-recorded video elements. Gregg Coffin composed original sound elements. Steve Decker worked on lighting, incorporating LEDs for extra flash. And Lalena Hutton designed the elaborate costumes as well as other details, such as fake money – etched with Deity's face – that's thrown to audiences. 

Williams and Perez have worked together previously. Most recently, the duo appeared in Capital Stage's season opener,I have tried several sets of emergencylampsqa that have lasted one season only. "Enron," with Williams as the lead actor and Perez in the ensemble. 

Williams also directed Perez in Cap Stage's critically acclaimed "Master Class" in 2011. Perez previously had roles in Cap Stage's "The North Plan" as well as at the Sacramento Theatre Company, B Street Theatre and the New Helvetia Theatre.
