🥊 What happens when a fighter stops fighting?
Ray Masinloc, a retired UFC World Champion, has found a new calling: speaking with the dead. As the medium behind the hit podcast Ray of Fight, he’s interviewed legends like Muhammad Ali, Florence Griffith Joyner, Kobe Bryant, Diego Maradona, and Ayrton Senna.
Now, in the series finale, Ray connects with his father’s hero - tennis icon Arthur Ashe - in a live, open-air theatrical conversation that challenges everything he thought he knew about legacy, race in sports, modern masculinity, and life after greatness.
✨ Join us for a one-of-a-kind summer evening of tennis, theatre, and community - under the lights and under the stars:
6PM - 7PM | Tennis with a Twist
Warm-up meets time machine: rally to the sounds of Arthur Ashe’s era with music on court. No pressure, just play. Everyone’s welcome - beginner to pro.
7PM - 7:30PM | Drinks, Snacks & Community
Enjoy a glass of wine, light snacks, and good vibes with fellow guests and artists.
7:30PM - 8:30PM | MR. COOL - Live Performance
Act I of a bold, genre-bending theatrical podcast performance, staged on the Center Court of Bitsy Grant.
8:30PM - 9PM | Post-Show Conversation
Join the creative team of MR. COOL and special guests from Agape Tennis Academy for a dynamic dialogue hosted by Theatrical Outfit.
