Here is your first look in video and photos at Kemp Powers’ celebrated play, One Night in Miami, which opens tonight  (March 27) at the DCPA Theatre Company.

The play imagines what happened just after Cassius Clay’s historic win over heavyweight champ Sonny Liston.

Declining a glamorous party, Clay celebrates with his friends: Activist Malcolm X, singer Sam Cooke and football player Jim Brown. Each man argues his vision for what it means to be black in 1964. The evening culminated in an early morning announcement from Clay that shocked the world. Runs through April 19 in The Space Theatre. Call 303-893-4100 or BUY ONLINE
