Carpenter Square Theatre presents the comedy King James by Rajiv Joseph. The title King James refers to King LeBron James. It's a story of friendship and a small market's love for the professional basketball team. Pictured are the cast Mikael Dashawn (in Cleveland Jersey) and Olen Cox. Show opens Friday, 9/11 & runs through Sunday, 9/27. Shows are Thursday, Friday & Saturday evenings at 7:30 pm with two Sunday matinees at 2 pm on September 20 & 27.

“King” LeBron James’ years playing in Cleveland bring promise, prosperity, and renewal to the city, while his twelve-year reign also unites Shawn and Matt in an unlikely friendship founded on basketball.

The fortunes of the Cavaliers are about to change: The great LeBron James, the biggest star in basketball, is coming to Cleveland. But when superfan Matt’s latest business venture turns sour, he has to sell his most prized possession – his pair of Cavs season tickets. The buyer, Shawn, just sold his first short story – so watching his team in the flesh for the first time will be a sweet reward. Now just to figure out what to do with that second ticket. Thrown together by chance, the next 12 years prove as defining, dramatic, and sometimes heart-breaking for Matt and Shawn as they do for the Cavs – and for “King” LeBron James. Multi-award-winner Rajiv Joseph delivers a clever comedy that is an intimate exploration of the place that sports occupy in our lives and relationships.

Can you survive a walk through the Lexington Zombie Farm? Get ready to encounter things that go bump in the night, as well as the undead, as you take a walk through the woods of this Lexington haunted attraction. Zombies and ghouls have taken over this farm land and are out to grab a tasty dinner. On black-out night, brave the farm in total darkness, or come out for touch and grab night, when zombies will pick you up and move you while you amble along the pitch black farm.

Chosen as one of the top ten haunts in Oklahoma, each evening the Lexington Zombie Farm is open also includes food trucks, photography sessions by appointment with a professional photographer and a Facebook photograph taken of all of the "survivors" who make it through the attraction in its entirety.
