Fetch Clay, Make Man is a wonderful True Colors production about Muhammad Ali preparing for his rematch with Sonny Liston. He brings in an unlikely secret weapon when he asked controversial actor Stepin Fetchit to come visit him at his training camp. Fetchit's arrival stirs up emotions in everyone for different reasons and changes their lives. Brad Raymond does a magnificent job playing Stepin Fetchit.
Once again I've enjoyed being a behind the scenes part of the show that is directed by Eric Little. Playwright Will Power even stopped by to talk to the cast and crew during rehearsal. Rob Demery personified Ali. He was always in character and had great chemistry with actress Danielle Deadwyler who played Sonji, his first wife.
Fetch Clay, Make Man is at the Southwest Art Center until November 22nd. It's a great show so make sure you grab a friend and get your tickets.
