A MEMORABLE HOLLYWOOD AND GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA STAGE DEBUT!: Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago Founder, Artistic Director and Producer and Los Angeles-based Theatre Artist DARRYL MAXIMILIAN ROBINSON made both his Hollywood and Greater Los Angeles Area Stage Debut when he appeared as the old Shakespearean actor HENRY ALBERTSON in the first-ever 2010 HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL 50th Anniversary Revival Production of TOM JONES' and HARVEY SCHMIDT'S classic, romantic musical "THE FANTASTICKS" presented by THE TRIBE PRODUCTIONS at THE COMPLEX THEATRE in LA.
With The Role Of The Old Shakespearean Actor Henry Albertson In Tom Jones' and Harvey Schmidt's The Fantasticks Darryl Maximilian Robinson Made Both His Hollywood And Greater Los Angeles Area Stage Debut![]
"The cast hits their stride in Act 1 with 'It Depends on What You Pay.' It's Just about that time that Darryl Maximilian Robinson gives the show a shot in the arm with his high-energy, over the top Henry. Robinson is a comedian, clearly comfortable on the stage and well trained. His Henry is quite simply a hoot and expertly delivered." -- Bree Long, LA Theatre Review.com / The Hollywood Fringe Daily Rag, Day Three, Saturday June 19, 2010.
"Additionally, the production offers a delightful comic duo of Henry ( Darryl Maximilian Robinson ) and Mortima ( Stacy Lynn Baker ), who portray the hopelessly inept two-person acting troupe reminiscent of the craftsmen in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was always disappointing when Henry and Mortima had to exit, as their mutual rapport was outstanding to watch." -- Kyra Oser, The Los Angeles Budget Theatre Exaiminer, Friday July 2, 2010.
A testament to Tom Jones' ( Book and Lyrics ) and Harvey Schmidt's ( Musical Score ) intimate, classic, romantic musical The Fantasticks' staying and playing power occurred during the late spring and summer of 2010 when a talented young theatre ensemble called The Tribe Productions presented a Hollywood Fringe Festival 50th Anniversary Revival Production of the acclaimed theatre piece at The Complex Theatre in Los Angeles. The revival, directed by Christopher Chase, with musical direction by Tiffany Oliver, featured skilled actor / singer Christopher Karbo as The Narrator, El Gallo, the lovely and talented Madison Mitchell as The Girl, Luisa, physically-amazing actress Setareh Khatibi as The Mute, and in his Hollywood and Greater Los Angeles stage debut, Chicago Joseph Jefferson Citation Award Winner Darryl Maximilian Robinson appeared as the old Shakespearean actor Henry Albertson opposite talented young comic actress Stacy Lynn Baker as Mortima ( in this production aka Mortimer, "The Woman Who Dies" ). The Tribe Productions' 2010 Hollywood Fringe Festival 50th Anniversary Revival Production of The Fantasticks earned a Festival Nomination as "Best of Fringe" as well as fine notices in the June 19,
2010 LA Theatre Review.Com / Hollywood Fringe Daily Rag and the July 2, 2010 Los Angeles Budget Theatre Exaiminer. And, in the great tradition of the role of Henry Albertson, veteran and award-winning stage actor and play director Darryl Maximilian Robinson is pleased to share with you "The Clippings"!
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.
