Adam- Keep the Faith, Baby is a story of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., (1908-1972), civil rights activist, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, and charismatic Congressman of the 18th District, which includes Harlem. He is depicted being interviewed by an unseen reporter on Powell’s last day in Congress in January, 1971. Renowned as being effective for getting things done for his constituents, and for powerfully advancing civil rights legislation, he was also notorious for a colorful lifestyle that included taking young women to his property in Bimini in the Bahamas, an activity that may have led to his political downfall.

Myers Clark portrays Powell in solo performance. Trained at American Conservatory Theatre, his previous work includes roles in No Place to Be Somebody, Porgy and Bess, Hair, Hamlet.
