And In This Corner: Cassius Clay

Seattle Children's Theatre
201 Thomas St, Seattle

Every superhero has an origin story. And long before he became heavyweight world-boxing champion Muhammad Ali, 12-year-old Cassius Clay was just a kid living in Louisville, Kentucky during the nation's dark time of Jim Crow racism and segregation. But when his bike gets stolen, he meets a police officer who teaches him how to box. Climb into the ring with Clay as he battles his way into becoming one of history's greatest athletes and civil-rights advocates, through help from his loving family and his own fierce determination. Check out And In This Corner: Cassius Clay, written by NEA award-winning playwright Idris Goodwin, at the Seattle Children's Theatre.
