Social Media Buzz for THE ELABORATE ENTRANCE OF CHAD DEITY (updated 5.17.14)

"Caught the final performance of The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity at Stray Cat Theatre last night. Congrats to Ron May and everyone involved. Loads of fun! And while I may never be a true fan of professional wrestling I may become one of playwright Kristoffer Diaz. Funny. And. Smart." - MW



"The very best political satire is side-splittingly funny... until it isn't. CHAD DIETY is the very best political satire. Brought to tears by political satire in the guise of a play about professional wrestling. Who'da thunk it? Congratulations to Ron May and the cast of CHAD DIETY for a fine, fine job." - VK



"Live wrestling + beer + theatre. I am in heaven. This is the best." - JG



"Seriously people GO SEE THIS SHOW! Even if you are not one for live theatre, how can you go wrong with wrestling? Imagine if the WWE had a real plot for once. That's this show. Go see The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity." - LM

"While I don't think I am ever going to be a wrestling fan, I really enjoyed The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity at Stray Cat Theatre. The great thing about theater is that you can sample all kinds of worlds. Great job..." - DT



"Saw Chad Diety last night! WOO! Enjoyed it tremendously. Congratulations." - AF



"I really enjoyed that show! Stray Cat has done it again!" - SL



"This is a really unusual, and very strong, piece of writing. I thought the leads were fantastic. The set was gorgeous, and first-rate. Loved that none of the performances were actor-y. I liked this play and thought it -- and your producing it -- was the kind of risk that makes art interesting." - RP

"My boyfriend is a diehard fan of the WWE...We saw THE ELABORATE ENTRANCE OF CHAD DEITY opening weekend and loved it! We both did actually!! But just so u know, u DONT have to be a fan of wrestling to see this, because for as much as I have watched wrestling over the last few years 'because' of my bf, and not just because I've been forced to at gunpoint, I am still NOT a diehard fan...but CHAD DEITY was funny, full of energy, and very entertaining!! Ps: Don't anyone tell my bf I'm not such a huge fan of the WWE... He thinks I'm thrilled w/ each and every show! (sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do)" - TS

"This is an amazing theatre experience and NOT to be missed. I'm just a chick that changed channels every time wrestling came on , but you are transformed to an arena and behind the scenes and interactive with video. The play itself is brilliant piece(up for Pulitzer) and so unique and belly laughs plenty with a bit of pathos mixed in for our hero/heroes. Don't miss this one. Take the ladies and grab the guys. We so enjoyed it and were so amped up afterwards we wanted to body slam!!" - goldstar review



"Soooooo....IMHO, this year is the best year ever for Stray Cat. First The Flick, then All New People, then The Whale and now......Chad Diety!! People! You have to see this show! Hilarious and yet f*ing brilliant. I can't remember the last time I audibly gasped in a show. But I did....twice! Thanks Ron May, Louis Farber Amanda Keegan Michael Peck Brooke Unverferth and the rest of the kitties! You guys are amazing." - JW
