A Reminder About 'Shadowboxer!'

We talked about this a while back, but the University of Maryland Performing Arts Center is hosting an opera based on the life of hall of fame boxer Joe Louis entitled "Shadowboxer". The opera that focuses as much on what happened to Louis after he retired as it does his storied career, begins on Saturday, April 17 at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center and runs through April 25.

Members of the cast trained with members of the University of Maryland Boxing Club in preparations for roles in the opera. Go to www.shadowboxer.umd.edu for more details.
