Darryl Maximilian Robinson Named Winner of A 2022 'Making The World Happening' Award From Allevents.in!

Darryl Maximilian Robinson Is Winner of a 2022 'Making The World Happening' Award for his numerous online theatre-related offerings at Allevents.in!
Greetings, Theatre Lovers and Supporters of The Arts! For the past two years during this catastrophic Covid-19 pandemic The Theatre and all The Arts have suffered as live audiences dwindled due to risk factors.
As a result, many practicioners of The Performing Arts resorted to providing their audiences and colleagues with recorded and live online activities so that creative work could still be experienced and viewed.
One of the essential things I have always suggested to my professional fellow performers and students is that they always DOCUMENT THEIR WORK so that future audiences and artists might have an opportunity to view it and comment on it.
I have been lucky and blessed to archive and share videos, photos and written stories and comments regarding my work and the highlights of both the multiracial chamber theatre The Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago and The Excaliber Shakespeare Company Los Angeles Archival Project.
So, Your Humble Servant In The Theatre, Darryl Maximilian Robinson, was delighted and thrilled today, May 9. 2022, to be named a winner of a 'Making The World Happening' Award for his numerous online theatre-related offerings at Allevents.in.
Having been involved in The Performing Arts for 49 years, it is always an honor to be recognized for one's work!
Darryl Maximilian Robinson has become noted as the very first black actor in American Theatre History to portray on stage a trio of classic dramatic roles including: Sir Thomas More in Robert Bolt's "A Man For All Seasons" ( in a 1984 revival presented by The University Players of The University of Missouri-St. Louis and directed by AEA Member John Grassilli at The Benton Hall Theater ); King Henry II in a 1992 multiracial cast revival of James Goldman's "The Lion In Winter ( directed by Mr. Robinson for his chamber theatre Excaliber Productions, Ltd in St. Louis and staged at The Wabash Triangle Cafe ); and Andrew Wyke ( opposite the talented actor Sean Nix as Milo Tindle ) in a 2000, 30th Anniversary, all-black cast revival of Anthony Shaffer's "Sleuth" presented under Mr. Robinson's direction by his chamber theatre The Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago at The Harrison Street Galleries Studio Theatre of Oak Park, Illinois.
