King James

Capital Stage Presents the Sacramento Premiere of
KING JAMES by Rajiv Joseph
Directed by Michael Stevenson
June 25 - July 27, 2025

“King” LeBron James’s years playing in Cleveland bring promise, prosperity, and renewal to a city in desperate need of all three. His tenure also unites Shawn and Matt in an unlikely bond forged by fandom. Over twelve years, from LeBron’s rookie season to an NBA Championship, the men navigate their turbulent friendship through their shared love of basketball—and the endless amiable arguments that erupt from that love. A clever comedy, KING JAMES is an intimate exploration of the place that sports occupy in our lives and relationships.

“Joseph has created one of the funniest and most moving plays about friendship in years… Basketball fans will love Joseph’s insidery jokes, but even if you don’t follow the game all that much, KING JAMES is a must-see.” –THEATERMANIA
