THE AFRICAN HERITAGE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER PRESENTS THE RIVETING BOXING THEATRICAL DRAMA “THE OPPONENT”. TEN SHOWS OCTOBER 6 thru OCTOBER 23

African Heritage Cultural Arts

The African Heritage Cultural Arts Center presents “The Opponent," written by Brett Neveu. Performances will run three weekends for ten shows: Thursday, October 6 through Sunday, October 23, 2022, at the Center’s Wendell A. Narcisse Performing Arts Theater at 6161 N.W. 22nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33142. Tickets range from $25-$30Directed by Lowell Williams , “The Opponent” looks at the hardscrabble world of boxing from the perspective of a small-time boxing gym owner, the seen-it-all-and-then-some Tremont "Tre" Billiford played by Enrique Galán, and a young up-and-comer, the charismatic and fast-moving Donell Fuseles played by Kedar Myers. The play explores difficult truths revealed as questions of loyalty, dreams deferred and fractured losses that become unearthed. Tensions quickly rise between the two broken men as both accuse the other of causing the failures that define their lives while they approach the inevitable fight that will ultimately prove who truly is the champ. The Chicago Tribune’s Chris Jones describes “The Opponent” as “a great new play that dances, parries and, most important, lands some killer punches.” TheatreMania adds that the work “concisely captures the dirty and disillusioning business of growing into adulthood—a path that sadly forces us to recognize the fallible humanity of our most respected mentors.”
