This Los Angeles based show is the #1 Show on the USA & Caribbean College Circuit.
Using Theater as vehicle for Social Change. This show about the triumph & tragedy of this mistreated African American genius not only promotes diversity, faith and persistence, but also challenges us to examine the notion that "if we accept the Fatherhood of God, why not the Brotherhood of Man."
Powerful & poignant, entertaining & educational, heartfelt & humorous, the show celebrates our common humanity.
From the horrors of the Slave Trade, to the shame of the Holocaust. From the artistic wonders of the Harlem Renaissance, the Jazz- Bebop era, to McCarthyism, blacklists, racism & oppression. Robeson shows us that in spite of our differences; we all still have more in common than we do in conflict. This show like Robeson's life; serves as a Cultural Ambassador inspiring us to greater achievement & a more noble life.
Robeson paid the price for leading from the front, rather than pushing from behind. This descendant of rebellious slaves, stood tall & took the blows for those of us handicapped by ignorance or subdued by tyranny. For those who arrived in shackles & on bloody feet, surviving the nightmare so that others could live the dream.
Paul Robeson was a symbol of our developing manhood; armed with nothing more than the strength of his convictions & his vision of a world where men live as brothers. His Message was his Life.
The goal of the play is to awaken a new generation; so that the lost brilliance of Robeson does not remain lost. To let all humanity know; that the best of Robeson lives in all of us & with it - the power to change the World.
