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.
