YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT IN THE THEATRE, DARRYL MAXIMILIAN ROBINSON, SHARES HIS BEST FIRST PREVIEW PERFORMANCE AND WORST CLOSING NIGHT PERFORMANCE STORY ON THE SAME DAY EVER!: On the evening of March 11, 2020, your humble servant, Darryl Maximilian Robinson had the great joy of appearing as The Announcer in the very first Preview Performance of The Ark Theatre of North Hollywood, California's bright, spanking new staging of its "Olde Tyme Radio Hour" rendition of a 1946 Episode of "The Dick Tracy Radio Show" entitled "The Case of The Big Top Murders" with a very talented cast and crew.
