Donté Bonner Makes Professional Wrestling Debut as Chad Deity

Just as the curtain hits the stage on InterAct's hugely-successful production of Kristoffer Diaz's THE ELABORATE ENTRANCE OF CHAD DEITY, featured actor Donté Bonner dons his Chad Deity alter ego once again and steps into the ring to make his professional wrestling debut (for real this time!). The Tri-State Wrestling Alliance (TWA) event will be held this Saturday, December 5 at Saint Matthew's Baptist Church in Williamstown, New Jersey.

CHAD DEITY On WHYY's Radio Times

The morning of Opening Night, CHAD DEITY playwright Kristoffer Diaz, lead actor Juan Pacheco and Wrestling Consultant / Co-Fight Choreographer Tony "Hitman" Stetson visited the WHYY studios for an in-depth chat with Radio Times host Marty Moss-Coane. Listen below as they discuss a myriad of topics, including the inspiration behind the the play, the real world of professional wrestling, and the ubiquitous question for actors (that is particularly appropriate for a character with over 3,000 words!), "How did you memorize all those lines?"
