🏀🎭 Now Playing at George Street Playhouse: K 🏀🎭 Now Playing at George Street Playhouse: King James
Even if you’re not a sports or basketball fan, King James just might surprise you.

We caught the show the other night, and what really stands out is the heartfelt connection between two characters—brought to life beautifully by Doug Harris and Blake Morris. At its core, this play isn’t about the game—it’s about connection, friendship, and how shared passions (yes, even sports!) can bridge very different lives.

Written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph and directed by Ryan George, this thoughtful, funny, and moving piece runs only through Sunday, April 6, with a special Sunday Symposium after the 2PM matinee.

🎟️ Tickets start at $25 – “don’t miss your shot”: georgestreetplayhouse.org
