King James

World Premiere Production

In a town that was searching for someone to look up to, no figure loomed as large as LeBron James. Playwright Rajiv Joseph (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo) chronicles the friendship of two Clevelanders as they bond over the rise of the greatest player in Cavaliers’ history. Tony Award® winner Kenny Leon (A Raisin in the Sun) directs this new play from the Pulitzer Prize-short lister hailed as “wonderfully daring, imaginative, and compassionate” (The New York Times). 

A co-production with Steppenwolf Theatre Company
