"Darryl Maximillian Robinson is #70 in my 100 Strangers Project. My family and home-school group went to the production of "A Christmas Carol" on Tuesday and I knew I wanted to get one of the actors as a stranger. Christmas Present was standing there at the exit, greeting the children. He was so fantastic as Christmas Present and had a lovely deep bass singing voice (it is a musical). He was friendly as well and gave me his bio for the project. Darryl is a critically-praised and award-winning stage actor, director and producer. He is appearing at the Glendale Center Theater for the first time!" -- MEG, The Ghost of Christmas Present, The 100 Strangers Project of Flickr, Dec. 14, 2010.
Veteran Chicago, St. Louis And Los Angeles Stage Actor And Play Director Darryl Maximilian Robinson Shares Notes, Photos And A Remembrance of One Of His Favorite Roles: The Ghost of Christmas Present in The Glendale Centre Theatre 2010 Annual Musical Production of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"!
During the late fall Holiday Season of 2010, veteran and award-winning Chicago-born and stage-trained actor Darryl Maximilian Robinson, who had previously won the 1981 Fort Wayne News-Sentinel Reviewer's Recognition Award as Outstanding Thespian of the Season for his performances in professional summer stock at northern Indiana's Enchanted Hills Playhouse, including most notably as Fagin in Lionel Bart's Oliver!, and who more recently earned critical praise and a 2019 BroadwayWorld Chicago Award Nomination for Best Performer In A Musical or Revue ( Resident Non-Equity ) for his portrayals of the dual roles of The Chairman Mr. William Cartwright and The Mayor Thomas Sapsea in the 2018 Saint Sebastian Players Chicago revival production of Rupert Holmes' The Mystery of Edwin Drood at the lovely, more than a century old, St. Bonaventure Church in the Windy City, had a wonderful time on stage in a third musical adaptation of a Charles Dickens literary classic when he appeared as The Ghost of Christmas Present and Others in talented and skilled director Tim Dietlein's 2010 annual musical production of 'A Christmas Carol' presented in-the-round at the charming ( and now much-missed ) Glendale Centre Theatre of Glendale, California.
The GCT's, highly-popular, multi-decade, long-running, annual production utilizes a couple of originally composed songs, and several traditional and classic Christmas hymns and carols for its score ( mostly sung acapella ) and some gorgeous period costumes from designer Angela Wood.
Mr. Robinson was delighted in being photographed on stage in his character attire as A Caroler, The Poultry Man, and, of course, The Ghost of Christmas Present.
And a true highlight of the production for Mr. Robinson was the chance to play his trio of roles opposite the late and wonderful character actor and comedian Mario Di Gregorio, a skilled and gifted performer who for many years engaged and delighted audiences with his performance as the miserly Ebeneezer Scrooge. Mr. Robinson learned much from appearing in the show and has a lovely scrapbook of memories from his time onstage in this unique musical staging of Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol.'

Darryl Maximilian Robinson Recalls The Great And Well-Remembered William Daniels As John Adams In '1776'

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" ). William Daniels had received a 1969 Tony Award nomination for Best Featured ( or Supporting ) Actor In A Musical for his acclaimed portrayal of...

Theatre Review: ' THE FRONT PAGE Is A Fun Romp Through An Old-Timey Newsroom ' by Therese Dersch

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...
