Lincoln Center Theater welcomes McKinley Belcher III, Khris Davis, Montego Glover, John Lavelle, and Clarke Petersto the stage in its production of The Royale, a new play by Marco Ramirez, directed by Rachel Chavkin.

Loosely based on the real-life experiences of Jack Johnson, the first African-American heavyweight world champion, The Royale tells, in six rounds, the fictional story of Jay "The Sport" Johnson (to be played by Khris Davis), a charismatic Negro Heavyweight Champion. It's 1905 and as Johnson faces his opponents - and confronts his demons - he exposes the troublesome events in his life that have propelled him into the ring with a burning desire to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
THE ROYALE features sets by Nick Vaughan, costumes byDede Ayite, lights by Austin R. Smith, and sound by Matt Hubbs.
