Actor Darryl Maximilian Robinson, last seen in the Greater Los Angeles area as The Narrator and The Mysterious Man in the December 2014 Burbank Community Theatre production of “Into the Woods,” returns to the stage this month in “Impromptu” at the Lincoln Stegman theatre, 6020 Radford Ave., North Hollywood.
Impromptu will be performed Saturdays at 8 and Sundays at 2, from Feb. 27 through March 13 in the intimate Stegman. Reservations may be made by calling Elate at 818.509.0882.
Expertly staged by longtime Jeff Zimmer, Elate play director and multiple Emmy-nominated television producer.
“Impromptu” is an allegory about life upon the stage. As debonair, but aging, leading man Ernest, Mr. Robinson is one of four actors summoned to the theatre by an unseen, mysterious stage manager, and informed no one may leave the stage until the group has improvised a play.
Joining Mr. Robinson for this humorous and dramatic exercise are Lucy Krubiner as the young ingenue, Lora, Joey Trezise as the male juvenile, Tony, and skilled veteran Casey Krubiner as the sharp-tongued character actress, Winnifred.
Celebrating 42 years of involvement in live theatre and the performing arts around the country, Mr. Robinson, founder of the Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago, Mr. Robinson has played featured roles with the National Shakespeare Company of New York, the Indianapolis Shakespeare Festival, the Bristol Renaissance Faire of Wisconsin, the Theatre Project Company of St. Louis.
