Playwrights Local Presents A Special Workshop Production One Week Only THE KING OF CAGE STREET Written and directed by Michael Oatman www.playwrightslocal.org/king-of-cage-street/ PERFORMANCES December 9 - 12, 2021 Thursday – Friday – Saturday at 7:30 p.m. & Sunday at 2:30 p.m. VENUE Creative Space at Waterloo Arts 397 East 156th Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44110 LINKS Webpage: www.playwrightslocal.org/king-of-cage-street Tickets: https://playwrights-local.ticketleap.com ABOUT The King of Cage Street is, in a sense, a love story: a character study of three broken people against a backdrop of urban decay. These three dispirited souls — D-Bear, a reformed thug; Skully, an alcoholic handyman; and Dime, a transgender sex worker — have created a space for themselves and their makeshift family. They have survived in the worst part of the worst ghetto in Ohio, thriving in what D-Bear calls “the end of the world.” This is where we find the trio when D-Bear receives news that a vicious enemy from his past has been released and is returning soon. As this showdown plays out, the fragile bonds that hold the trio together are strained to the point of rupture.
