In This Corner: In 1938, there was no bigger sporting event than the bout between German boxer Max Schmeling and American “Brown Bomber” Joe Louis. World War II was about to change how Americans viewed the world and this fight elevated Louis from African-American hero to All-American icon. In 1970, the two men reunite in the most unlikely of places: a psychiatric ward. The Cassius Carter Centre Stage becomes the ultimate arena, and every seat is ringside as the decisive battle begins – for honor, country, and for self-respect in the Old Globe Theater’s world premiere of In This Corner. Tickets for the show, which runs through Feb. 10, range from $42-$54. Showtimes vary. The Old Globe Theater is located at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park. www.oldglobe.org
