Don't miss the extraordinary West Coast Premiere of Approaching Ali featuring Metropolitan Opera star Soloman Howard in one of his signature roles as Muhamma...

D.J. Sparr, Mark Campbell and Davis Miller’s Approaching Ali was inspired by the latter’s deeply personal story, My Dinner with Ali, and the subsequent international best seller, The Tao of Muhammad Ali.

The poignant tale recounts how a bullied young boy (Miller) in North Carolina in the early 1960’s is galvanized to overcome some traumatic childhood events when he sees the charismatic and powerful icon, Muhammad Ali on television.  Young Miller follows his idol faithfully, continuing to draw inspiration from him.  More than twenty years later, as a writer on the brink of middle age, he seeks to rekindle that spirit of awe and gratitude, by visiting his boyhood hero in person at Ali’s mother’s home in Louisville, Kentucky.

Miller drives around indecisively, then steels his resolve, parks the car, nervously walks to the front door, and rings the bell.  A lifelong friendship is born.  Approaching Ali is sure to warm hearts with an uplifting message of brotherly accord.

Casting for this West Coast Premiere of Approaching Ali includes the original star, bass Soloman Howard and Soprano Sheronda McKee-Dollar.  Joshua Horsch conducts.
