Before the speeches. Before the dream that changed the world— \nthere was a boy named King. \n  \nTold through the eyes of Coretta Scott King\, A Boy Named King traces the early life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—from curious child to courageous young man—revealing not just how he found his voice\, but why he used it. Designed especially for young audiences\, this original play blends movement\, music\, and memory to remind every dreamer that greatness begins in ordinary places. Through the guidance of mentors\, the power of faith\, and the love that would shape his destiny\, we witness how a boy’s questions became a movement—and how that movement still calls to us today. Staged in honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday\, A Boy Named King is more than a story from the past. It’s a call to the future. \nA celebration of courage. And an invitation to every student\, every child\, every believer: to rise\, to dream\, and to change the world for the better. \nRecommended for adults and youth ages 10 and up. \nA Boy Named King is a theatrical celebration designed to move\, teach\, and inspire — reminding every generation\, young and old\, that each of us has the power to change the world. \n  \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE URL:https://bhamnow.com/bhamn-event/a-boy-named-king-the-making-of-a-dreamer/ LOCATION:Carver Theatre\, 1631 4th Avenue North\, Birmingham\, AL\, 35203\, United States CATEGORIES:Fun,Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bhamnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/qh6gszka-YVaJ2f.png ORGANIZER;CN="Encore Theatre and Gallery":MAILTO:encorebham@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251228T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251228T190000 DTSTAMP:20260102T170402Z CREATED:20260102T170402Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260102T170402Z UID:10088680-1766941200-1766948400@bhamnow.com SUMMARY:Music of the Spheres featuring Itamar Zorman DESCRIPTION:The INTUITIVE® Planetarium at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center is proud to present “Music of the Spheres” with internationally recognized violinist Itamar Zorman.
