  • James Earl Jones
    James Earl Jones One of the most distinguished living African-American actors, James Earl Jones is as well known for his rich, rumbling baritone as his imposing physical presence. He was born on January 17, 1931, in Arkabutla, Mississippi. His father, Robert Earl Jones, was a prizefighter who turned to acting. His mother, Ruth, was a maid and former schoolteacher. Robert Jones left his family not long after Jones's birth, and the child was adopted and raised on a Michigan farm by his maternal grandparents. Jones developed a strong stutter as a youth and, out of embarrassment, rarely talked until he was 15. A high school English teacher took an interest in him when he learned that Jones wrote poetry. He helped him overcome his stutter and win a scholarship to the University of Michigan, where he went in 1949. Jones started as a premed student and then switched to drama. He graduated magna cum laude in 1953 and served a stint in the army. After his service time, Jones moved to New York City to pursue an acting career and for a time was reunited with his father, another struggling actor. Together they waxed floors for money to live on while auditioning for plays. Jones began getting small parts in Off-Broadway shows but did not land his first role on Broadway until 1957. His career got a big boost when he was invited to join the New York Shakespeare Festival, which performed Shakespeare's plays each summer in Central Park. Jones was impressive in such leading Shakespearean roles as Othello, King Lear, and Oberon, the king of the fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

  • The Johnson-Jeffries Fight and Censorship of Black Supremacy
    THE JOHNSON-JEFFRIES FIGHT 100 YEARS THENCE: THE JOHNSON-JEFFRIES FIGHT AND CENSORSHIP OF BLACK SUPREMACY Barak Y. Orbach* In April 2010, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in United States v. Stevens, in which the Court struck down a federal law that banned the depiction of conduct that was illegal in any state. Exactly one hundred years earlier, without any federal law, censorship of conduct illegal under state law and socially con- demned mushroomed in most towns and cities across the country. In the summer of 1910, states and municipalities adopted bans on prizefight films in order to censor black supremacy in controver- sial sport that was illegal in most states. It was one of the worst waves of movie censorship in American history, but it has been largely ignored and forgotten. On the Fourth of July, 1910, the uncompromising black heavy- weight champion, Jack Johnson, knocked out the “great white * Associate Professor of Law, The University of Arizona. www.orbach.org.

    DISCOVERY GUIDE Student Matinee Series 18/19 SEASON 01 DEAR EDUCATORS, Thank you for choosing to bring your students to The Royale. We know that each academic year you are presented with a multitude of thought provoking and exciting educational visits, performances, exhibitions, tours, and other off-site opportunities to enrich your students’ classroom curriculum. And, each year, there seems to be less time and less funds available to participate in these meaningful experiences. We appreciate that you found The Royale intriguing and powerful enough that you made a priority of offering this particular opportunity to your students. We, too, believe that this gripping story, the rich history it illuminates, the rhythmically captivating style in which it unfolds, and the heartfelt and powerful conversations sparked by the journeys of these fascinating characters will be profoundly rewarding. Over the next several pages, we hope to highlight information that will prepare your students to invest in this production and give them a glimpse into the world of boxing, the black experience in turn of the century America, and how they’re connected. We’ve also included discussion questions to fuel pre-show conversations, as well as additional post-show reflection and analysis. Thank you, again, for choosing to share the power and wonder of live theatre with your students. We’re certain The Royale’s resonance and ever-increasing relevance in our world today, which extends far beyond the stage, will be a highlight of the 2018-2019 academic year for both you and your students, and we are so excited to explore this show alongside you.

Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater’s latest world premiere docudrama, The 51st State, will receive its world premiere through Arena Stage’s Supper Club on September 16 at 7 p.m. Following the premiere, viewers can join artists and creatives for a post-film discussion and after-party on Zoom.
