The poster was designed by talented artist Andrew Adam, who has worked as the poster designer on other projects in the past, such as Honey Boy (Shia Labeouf) and Lady in the Lake (Natalie Portman). In addition to Darnell and Jay, R. Marcus Taylor, JadaPaige, and Jack Stone have all been tapped for roles in the film, along with Rodney J. Hobbs, Mildred Marie Langford, and JeCobi Swain.

Chicago – One of the most well-received 2015 theater performances in Chicago has been from actor Jerod Haynes as boxer Jay Jackson, in American Theater Co’s production of “The Royale.” Inspired by real life boxer Jack Johnson, the play is about setting up an early 1900s heavyweight championship, for the first time in U.S. history, between a black and white boxer.
The play is magnificently incendiary, told through a series of dialogue scenes and monologues. Haynes is magnetic as the mercurial Johnson, and communicates the intelligence, skill and frustration of being a notable African American in a less tolerant time. “The Royale” runs until March 29th, 2015, and is written by Marco Ramirez (“Orange is the New Black”) and directed by Atc ensemble member Jaime Castañeda.
