ESC'S DARRYL MAXIMILIAN ROBINSON APPEARS FOR A 4TH TIME AS THEATRE DON MAXIMILIANO TO REFERENCE THE RECENT PROTEST TO PROTECT THE JOHN F. KENNEDY MEMORIAL CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS AND TO NOTE THE LATE PRESIDENT'S FRIENDSHIP WITH ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY SCREEN LEGEND MARILYN MONROE!
Written, directed, recorded and performed by veteran stage actor, play director, theatre producer and Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago and Excaliber Shakespeare Company Los Angeles Archival Project Founder Darryl Maximilian Robinson as Theatre Don Maximiliano on Saturday September 19, 2026, this short, comedic video which marks the fourth appearance by The Theatre Don occurs early in the morning when after his walk and while reposing in his office, he shares the news that over a thousand American citizens formed a human chain around the President John F. Kennedy Memorial Center For The Performing Arts in protest of threats by the current administration to demolish the building unless a name that truly does not belong on a venue honoring an assassinated president is placed there.
Theatre Don Maximiliano salutes those American citizens who to part in that protest, notes the late John F. Kennedy's and First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis' love for the performing arts and culture...and then notes a portrait in his office of a very talented and "rumoured" friend of JFK...the late, great Hollywood screen legend Marilyn Monroe.
The Theatre Don suggests that there will be some further commentary on the "friendship" between the late former president and the late performing artist later.
Because, keeping to his personal code, The Theatre Don never reveals all.
This fourth entry in The Theatre Don Maximiliano video series is freely available for viewing on Mr. Robinson's Facebook Page and You Tube Channel.
Ciao.
SPECIAL NOTE: Included here is a video link of the late, great screen legend Marilyn Monroe performing "Happy Birthday" for the late, great President John F. Kennedy at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1962.
Worth a peek.
