A WEEK IN REHEARSALS: HIGHLIGHTS!

favorite?

Monday: Like every night so far in rehearsals, La’ Tevin Alexander transforms into Cassius Clay. We’re rehearsing with Co-Director Jerry Foster, Artistic Director of PassinArt Theatre Company. As we work the scenes, I find it amazing that the actors and two directors discover a rhythm that encourages all voices in this process. Wanda Walden, our brilliant costumer, is watching the action to time quick changes. Eddie, played by Charles Grant, reads the newspaper headlines about Emmett Till and the room is silent, respectful, and moved. Wanda hands me a book, Free at Last: A History of the Civil Rights Movement And Those Who Died in the Struggle. Emmett Till’s image is one of the photos on the cover. It reminds me of how important this show is to all of us.

Later, the room erupts with big belly laughs at Gerrin Mitchell’s neighborhood bully, Corky Baker, and Johnny Crawford’s Rudy Clay. I leave rehearsal knowing that I will not be able to sleep because I am so excited by the talented, generous, loving people that I have the pleasure to work with.

You support the arts. You want to help support the arts community as a whole. You could research, budget, write 100 checks to as many different groups. . . . . . Or, you can give to Work for Art.

Tuesday: I watch Golden Gloves champion Damaris Webb stage the third round of the 1960 Olympic light heavyweight bout between Cassius Clay and Zbigniew Pietrzykowski, played by Sten Eikrem. Prior to the rehearsal period, all three have been training together with Molly at Molly McConnell’s Boxing and with Stan Dunn at The Knott Street Boxing Club. We watch a YouTube video of the original fight. Sten, a right hander, has been training as a southpaw. La’ Tevin has become a master of Clay’s style, watching fight after fight. The energy in the room is palpable! The final fight will be incredible. Great work. Again, hard to sleep. Wednesday: Lots of rehearsal conflicts tonight. We’re working with Eric L. Island (who plays Cassius’s father) and La’ Tevin on a couple of scenes, trying to find the right balance in the father/son relationship. I am impressed by Eric’s work ethic as he wants to repeat scenes to perfection. Speaking of work ethic, Jared Mack, who plays Joe Martin, arrives an hour before he’s called. He is there to work a 30-second scene. These actors are dedicated to greatness. Sleep? Nope. Too excited. Thursday: Everyone is in the room as we stagger through the show. Damaris, who also plays Cassius’s mom Odessa, garners the first big laugh for scolding Cassius and his brother for running around in their Sunday clothes. There are too many great things happening in this rehearsal to reflect them on this page! Staying up late. Friday: Rest day! Already looking forward to next Monday’s rehearsal. I love this group of people so much!

“Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn’t matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong.” “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”

JOURNEY TO “THE GREATEST”: THE MAKING OF MUHAMMAD ALI Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. was born in Louisville, Kentucky on January 17, 1942. He lived with his mother, father, and brother and grew up during a time when laws called The Jim Crow Laws were in full effect. These laws unfairly segregated white and black people in public places. According to the laws, blacks and whites couldn’t attend the same schools, eat at the same restaurants, ride the same buses, use the same restrooms, or drink from the same drinking fountains. These laws made life extremely difficult for black Americans like Cassius and his family.

In 1954, when Cassius was 12 years old, he met police officer Joe Martin, who offered to teach him how to box after his bike was stolen. Cassius began training with Joe and quickly became obsessed with boxing. Cassius had unique form that made him stand out as a boxer—he was very quick on his feet and was able to throw a punch and move out of the way before the other boxer could punch back. His ability to “stick and move” and superior stamina garnered him Cassius receives the gold medal many wins as an amateur at the Olympics in Rome, 1960 fighter, and before PHOTO: CENTRAL PRESS/GETTY IMAGES long he had won a gold medal for boxing at the Olympics in Rome in 1960. After the Olympics, Cassius became a professional boxer. In 1964, he converted to the religion of Islam and changed his name to Ali defeats opponent Sonny Liston, 1965 Muhammad Ali. He used PHOTO: JOHN ROONEY/AP his fame as a platform to support the civil rights movement and to advocate for issues he was passionate about throughout his life. Over the course of his career, he only lost 5 out of 61 boxing matches. Ali has been nicknamed “The Greatest” and was recognized for his incredible contributions as an athlete and humanitarian throughout his life. OREGON CHILDREN’S THEATRE •
