Having previously appeared on the Monday September 19, 2016 and Monday December 30, 2019 editions of the internet performing arts television talk show 'The Actor's Choice', seasoned Chicago, St. Louis and Los Angeles thespian Darryl Maximilian Robinson ( winner of both a 1997 Chicago Joseph Jefferson Citation Award for Outstanding Actor In A Play and a 1997 Chicago Black Theatre Alliance / Ira Aldridge Award nomination for Best Leading Actor In A Play for his critically-praised performance as Sam Semela in Athol Fugard's powerful anti-apartheid drama "Master Harold And The Boys" presented at The Heartland Cafe Studio Theatre of Chicago's Rogers Park) has twice had the opportunity to discuss his work in the live theatre and other performing arts related endeavors.
But these chats occurred before the advent of 2020! A year that saw the greatest racial strife and protest marches in the U.S. since the civil rights era, a contested presidential election which culminated in an insurrection at The Capitol, and a world-wide global pandemic that closed theatres and performing arts venues of all shapes and sizes around the country!
Nearly two-and-a-half years ago, on Monday May 3, 2021 at 11:00 AM ( PST ), and at 1:00 PM ( CST ), following talented and experienced fellow guests Film Director, Editor and Actor Dave Edison ( who has worked on television and screen projects from sci-fi series to Christmas specials ) and Actress and Dancer Trish McCall ( who has worked around the country in the theatre and on television with such legends as theatre Director / Producer Woodie King and the late, great Jerry Orbach of 'Law And Order' in New York ), Chicago's Darryl Maximilian Robinson joined veteran entertainment journalist and host Ron Brewington to discuss public theatre performance, politics, systemic racism, The Covid-19 Pandemic and The Oscars during his third appearance on 'The Actor's Choice.'
Founder, Artistic Director and Producer of both the multiracial classical chamber theatre The Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago and the theatre and video arts group The Excaliber Shakespeare Company Los Angeles Archival Project, Darryl Maximilian Robinson is a Windy City-born and stage-trained actor and play director whose work in drama spans 50 years and includes involvement in over 250 dramatic productions and literary arts presentations performed around the country.
The Actor's Choice', then hosted in its seventh season by Ron Brewington, is an internet performing arts television show that gives various members of the professional film, television, theatre and performing arts communities a forum to discuss their craft and the choices they have made.
Enjoy.
