Los Angeles - This week marks the third anniversary of when veteran and award-winning stage actor and play director Darryl Maximilian Robinson ( The Founder of the multiracial, non-Equity professional chamber theatre The Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago ) paid a visit to long-time friend and former St. Louis Excaliber Productions, Ltd. Member J. L. Watt, a very talented photographer, editor and videographer, who owns a modest and charming studio in West Los Angeles, so that Mr. Robinson, a more than four-decade-long theatre artist, could begin the process of documenting and archiving his work in The Performing Arts. What Mr. Robinson and Mr. Watt would ultimately create was a photo shoot session and video entitled: Darryl Maximilian Robinson In His Awards Room! The video was shot on April 16, 2017 and was recorded in Two Takes ( With Take Two Serving As The Creators' Primary Cut ). Dozens of photos with Mr. Robinson displaying several of his local and regional theatre honors made up the balance of the session.

Remembering The Great And Highly Regarded Mr. William Daniels in '1776'! Theatre Lovers And Supporters, The History of our nation is very Important, including American Theatre History. In 1969, the versatile and skilled actor William Daniels became the first thespian on Broadway to decline a Tony Award nomination. William Daniels had given a performance which was considered by many critics as one of the best of the season when he created the leading role of "the obnoxious and disliked" yet highly determined John Adams in the rousing and patriotic musical "1776," a Broadway hit with book by Peter Stone and music and lyrics by passionate American History Buff Sherman Edwards which would capture 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical of the Year ( defeating the popular tribal rock musical "Hair" ).

Theatre Review: 'THE FRONT PAGE Is A Fun Romp Through An Old-Timey Newsroom' by Therese Dersch Note: "The Front Page" was presented by The Culver City Public Theatre July 13th through August 4th of 2024 at The Carlson Memorial Park in Culver City, California. The Production recently closed. This is a post-production notice by an audience member. "The Front Page," the play the film "His Girl Friday" is based on, was first produced in 1928. Written by two former Chicago reporters Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, one wonders what craziness was going on in the newsrooms of the time that inspired it. The Culver City Public Theatre production is charming, silly in the best Monty Pythonish way, and laugh out loud funny. The story centers around reporters working the police beat in Chicago. One of them, Hildy, plans to leave the newspaper business for what she feels is a more respectable life as a wife to an insurance salesman. Life, as oft...
