 A lifelong fan and admirer of The Chairman of The Board, Veteran Stage Actor, Play Director, Theatre Producer and 2022 Making The World Happening Award Winner Darryl Maximilian Robinson reflects on his one and only occasion to visit the lovely confines of Frank Sinatra Hall.
RECALLING A 2017 VISIT TO FRANK SINATRA HALL AT THE EILEEN NORRIS CINEMA THEATRE AT USC!
Darryl Maximilian Robinson, a 51-year-long American stage performer whose local Los Angeles theatre award honors include a 2013 Kentwood Players' Marcom Masque Theatre Award nomination for Best Actor In A Major Supporting Role for his critically-praised performance as the historic Black educator and orator Booker T. Washington in a revival of the musical "Ragtime" at The Westchester Playhouse, a 2015 / 2016 Emmanuel Lutheran Actors Theatre Ensemble-ELATE Season Ticket Holder Best Actor Award nomination for his performance as the debonair, but aging leading man Ernest in Tad Mosel's classic one-act drama of Life In The Theatre "Impromptu" at The Lincoln Stegman Theatre in North Hollywood, California, and, most recently, a 2024 Broadwayworld Los Angeles Award nomination for Best Supporting Performer In A Play for his portrayal of Chicago Newspaper Reporter Roy V. Bensinger in The Culver City Public Theatre revival production of Ben Hecht's and Charles MacArthur's "The Front Page" presented outdoors at The Carlson Memorial Park in Culver City, recalls a 2017 visit to one of the finest performing arts related venues he has ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
Without question one of the greatest entertainers in the history of show business was the late, great CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD FRANK SINATRA!
Born Francis Albert Sinatra in 1915, and departing his world of fans far too soon in 1998, "The Pride of Hoboken, New Jersey" was an Italian-American performer of humble roots who went on to become one of the most memorable screen actors, recording artists and concert performers of all time!
Mr. Sinatra was also a world-renowned humanitarian, who lent his talent, voice and positive energy to many worthy charities and causes.
During the weekend of Sunday April 23, 2017, the date of WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S BIRTHDAY ( a well-known entertainer of literary legend! ), your humble servant in The Theatre,
Darryl Maximilian Robinson, while paying a visit to THE ANNUAL LA FESTIVAL OF BOOKS AT USC, discovered when he entered the lobby of THE EILLEN NORRIS CINEMA THEATRE a treasure trove of educational, enlightening and inspiring trophies, honors and awards all captured by OLD BLUE EYES during the course of his multi-decade-long performing career.
Mr. Sinatra has left us A Hell Of An Awards Room, and is still teaching Americans of humble beginnings that honest, hard work ( even in show business ) pays off!
When visiting the coolest spots of Los Angeles, Mr. Robinson highly recommends that anyone with the remotest interest in The History of The Performing Arts, Movies, Music and Live Entertainment make a stop at FRANK SINATRA HALL AT THE EILEEN NORRIS CINEMA THEATRE OF USC!
