WEST COAST PREMIERE | 3 PERFORMANCES
Rise of a King
A solo show by Vico Ortiz
Directed by Ismanuel Rodríguez
Vico Ortiz—aka “Jim Jimenez” from Max’s cult-hit Our Flag Means Death—presents the West Coast Premiere of their first solo show, RISE OF A KING. A cosmic, gender-bending joyride, this burlesque extravaGAYnza blends drag, astrology, and raw storytelling to untangle the mess and magic of growing up—while rewriting the rules of who gets to wear the crown.
Heartfelt, hilarious, and just the right amount of woo-woo, RISE OF A KING is directed by Ismanuel Rodríguez, written by Vico Ortiz, and developed with Nikki Levy.
Produced by Celebration Theatre, in association with BoriQueer Productions and Tantai Teatro, with set design by Josue Matias and puppets by Fyre.
