King Liz

Why you should see King Liz

Because March Madness.
Because the behind-the-scenes drama of a female sports agent will pull you in.
Because The Mercury News calls our production “delectably smooth,” with “plenty of poignant humor.”
Because even if you’re not the biggest basketball fan, you’ll be rooting for these characters.

Synopsis

Veteran sports agents know they have to fight to stay on top. If you’re a woman, it’s doubly hard. With an elite client roster and a nearly unbeatable drive, Liz Rico is poised to take over the agency that she’s helped build. Then she takes on high school basketball superstar Freddie Luna. With his troubled past and a temper as hot as his talent, he could make his career and hers if she can keep things under control. But at what price?
