Channel your inner champion and fight for what’s right with “And in this Corner: Cassius Clay” running February 21 – March 2, 2025 at the Racine Theatre Guild.
Long before the world knew him as Muhammad Ali, this story of Cassius Clay, Jr. bobs and weaves through his early life. Growing up in Jim Crow-era Louisville, he steps into the ring with determination and drive to not be beaten by life or his opponents.
