Don't Miss this FREE CPH Season Extra and Save 50% on The Royale
by Natasha Fly 21 May '18

21 May '18

CPH Season Extras - Taking A Knee FREE CPH SEASON EXTRA SUNDAY, MAY 27 | 4:00 PM Outcalt Theatre at Playhouse Square Don't miss this FREE up close and personal conversation between The Royale Director and CPH Associate Artistic Director, Robert Barry Fleming and three time Super Bowl Champion Je'Rod Cherry. No RSVP necessary! Together they will explore the last century of the African-American professional athlete and how simply by participating in the professional arena, they are perceived as making a political statement. Jack Johnson, an African-American heavyweight champion is a boxing legend, for initiating the "Fight of the Century" in 1910, in which he challenged James J. Jeffries, his white counterpart. This true story in 1910, in which The Royale is based, is a story that has reverberated through the decades and the last century. From Jack Johnson, who had to take a stand in order to be declared the Heavyweight Champion of the World, not just for the 'colored' championship, to the Cleveland Summit in 1967, when professional African-American athletes came together to support Muhammad Ali on draft-dodging the Vietnam War, to present day of "Taking the Knee," a long-standing tradition, but recently became a news feeding frenzy as African-American athletes began "taking the knee" during the National Anthem to show their solidarity against racial injustices happening across the country, and when Cleveland favorite, LeBron James took a political stance in an interview, Laura Ingraham of Fox News told him to "Shut up and dribble." Should athletes use the professional platform for civil discourse on social injustice? What is the difference between athletes and stars at the Academy Awards(r)? All this and more will be explored in "Taking a Knee" immediately following the May 27th performance of The Royale. The Royale SAVE 50% ON TICKETS USING PROMO CODE: ROYALE THROUGH SUNDAY, MAY 27 | TIMES VARY Outcalt Theatre at Playhouse Square It's 1910, and Negro Heavyweight Champion Jay "The Sport" Jackson is determined to prove he is equal to his white counterpart-in the ring and in life.

Inspired by groundbreaking sports legend Jack Johnson, The Royale is an electrifying adrenaline rush that packs an unforgettable punch as it takes you inside Jim Crow America, inside the ring, and inside the head of this remarkable fighter.

Indeed, this will be my 50th directed production at Lakeland Theatre. While I was only 20 years old, the story immediately captured my attention; unrequited love, beautiful melodies and a total lack of misunderstanding amongst all the characters… now that was drama! Based on the Ingmar Bergman film Smiles of a Summer Night, this musical with a book by Hugh Wheeler, concerns three mismatched couples. Desiree Armfeldt, an actress, is seeing Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm who is married to Charlotte Malcolm. Frederik Egerman, Desiree's past lover, is married to the still-virginal Anne, who is half his age. Henrik Egerman, Frederik's son, who is also a divinity student, loves his stepmother Anne, who is a year younger than him. Petra (Anne's maid), Fredrik and of course, Madame Armfeldt, Desiree's mother, and Frederica, Desiree's daughter, round out the action which occurs in town and at "A Weekend in the Country" at Madame Armfeldt's house in the land of the midnight sun. The musical features a lieder quintet as a Greek chorus. > > Audition Information: > Auditions will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 22 and 23 at Lakeland Community College in Building D at 7:15pm.
