Named for patrons who want the “best available” seats and for the desire of theaters to hire the “best available” leadership candidate, Spector takes the audience on a crazy ride, bordering on farce at times, through the inner workings of nonprofit on stage. Dave Maier and Steve Price portray the search firm helping the theater find candidates for the artistic director position, including a particularly startling selection towards the end of the play. In addition to these distinctive roles, they also develop hilarious characters as the Romanian candidate and an outlandish board member .
Created by and featuring Michael Wayne Turner III, “Ghost of King” brings this historical figure out of the past and allows him speak to today’s audience — proof of how King’s words are still relevant in 2024. Performances take place at the Oakland Theater Project at FLAX art & design, 1501 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Oakland.
