SUMO

Use code SUMO45 to unlock $45 tickets, including for the AANHPI Community Performance and a Traditional Chinese Open-Caption performance on March 22.

Entrenched in an elite sumo training facility in Tokyo, six men practice, eat, love, play, and ultimately fight. Step into the sacred world of sumo wrestling. With sponsorship money at stake, their bodies on the line, and their futures at risk, the wrestlers struggle to carve themselves—and one another—into the men they dream of being. Don’t miss the New York premiere of Lisa Sanaye Dring’s mesmerizing play in a co-production with Ma-Yi Theater Company and La Jolla Playhouse, and directed by Ralph B. Peña.

Experience this ancient Japanese tradition on stage like never before.
