CHICAGO JOSEPH JEFFERSON CITATION AWARD WINNER DARRYL MAXIMILIAN ROBINSON RECALLS TWO WONDERFUL 1980S SUMMERS ONSTAGE AT THE ENCHANTED HILLS PLAYHOUSE OF SYRACUSE, INDIANA!:
Long before 52-year long Chicag-born and stage-trained thespian Darryl Maximilian Robinson, Founder, Artistic Director and Producer of the multiracial theatre groups The Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago and The Excaliber Shakespeare Company Los Angeles Archival Project would be honored ( in the 1990s ) for his work in The Windy City, he was blessed to be honored for his stage work at a more rural area of his beloved Midwest.
"The News-Sentinel's first seasonal Reviewer's Recognition Award to a local or area thespian is bestowed upon Darryl Maximilian Robinson, a 6-foot-4-inch, 150-pound young professional whose stage presence, charisma and talent say to both intuition and intellect he's definitely stage stardom material. We'll come back in a year or two to let you know if predictions are accurate." -- Sharon Little, 'Young actor Darryl Robinson: He's one in a Maximilian,' The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, Saturday August 29, 1981.
Darryl Maximilian Robinson first attracted critical attention at the Enchanted Hills Playhouse of Syracuse, Indiana, where—as a Chicago-born, theatre-trained actor—he earned praise for his intensity and stage presence during the 1980s summer stock seasons.
In the Playhouse’s landmark 1981 revival of Lionel Bart’s Oliver!, Robinson’s towering, charismatic Fagin garnered him the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel Reviewer’s Recognition Award—the first such seasonal honor bestowed on a local or area performer—and cemented his reputation as a rising star.
That same season he showed remarkable range playing El Gallo in The Fantasticks, joined onstage by Josef McKesson, Cecil K. Eastman and Dave Keifer, demonstrating that his talents extended well beyond villainy into nuanced, narrative-driven roles.
Robinson kept the momentum rolling through the mid-’80s: in 1984 he portrayed the King opposite Elizabeth Lee Taylor’s Anna in Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein’s The King and I, and also delivered memorable turns in Cabaret, Peter Pan, My Fair Lady and Camelot—all of which drew enthusiastic reviews and solidified his status as a commanding presence on the Enchanted Hills stage.
Honoring those formative summers, Robinson later curated his “1980s Enchanted Hills Playhouse Scrapbook”—a collection of press clippings, reviews and photos—presented virtually, and archived in EverybodyWiki’s theatre story gallery, preserving the legacy of both his early career and the Playhouse itself.
Beyond these standout productions, Robinson’s summers at Lake Wawasee exemplify how the Enchanted Hills Playhouse served as a vibrant incubator for emerging theatrical talent, setting the stage for his later achievements as an actor, director and educator.45 years ago, on the evening of June 17, 1981, Darryl Maximilian Robinson made his stage dedut at The Enchanted Hills Playhouse of Syracuse, Indiana portraying the comedic and mischievous Persian Peddler Ali Hakim in the EHP summer stock revival production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!."

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

As a nod to the rich history of InterContinental Chicago, we're introducing a secret, off-menu cocktail experience during our ongoing Jazz Night pop-up in the lobby.
Join us every Thursday from 5–7 PM for live jazz, speakeasy-inspired cocktails, and a hidden surprise. Guests who discover the secret passcode—shared exclusively on social media and event flyers (shh... don't tell!)—will unlock access to a special off-menu cocktail inspired by one of the building's most fascinating historical details.
When the property opened in 1929, its 42nd floor was originally designed to serve as a docking station for airships, including the famed Zeppelins. This hidden cocktail pays tribute to that ambitious chapter of Chicago history with a drink as intriguing as the story behind it.
Come for the jazz, stay for the secret.

ESC'S DARRYL MAXIMILIAN ROBINSON NOTES THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS OUTDOOR THEATRE PERFORMANCE DEBUT AS HIS EMINENCE, TOMAS DE TORQUEMADA, THE GRAND INQUISITOR OF SPAIN IN PATTY MCKENNY'S AND DOUG FREW'S "MURDER, THEY QUOTH!", THE MUSICAL COMEDY GRAND SCENARIO OF THE 1986 14TH ANNUAL KING RICHARD'S FAIRE OF KENOSHA, WISCONSIN!
There's Nothing Like A Good Role On Stage In A Musical Mystery!:
One of the true pleasures of having spent some 52 years in The Arts is looking back on some of one's favorite stage roles. Though this stage actor, play director, intimate house producer and classics text adaptor has been blessed to appear in established comedies and dramas and musicals and original new works and several noted classics, there were only three occasions ( over a span of 250 productions and presentations at multiple locations around the country ) in which this stage actor played A Principal Role in A MUSICAL MYSTERY. All three of which were were quite memorable.
During his early professional stage career, specifically the 1980s, Chicago-born and stage-trained Joseph Jefferson Citation Award Winner Darryl Maximilian Robinson ( for Outstanding Actor In A Play for his critically-praised performance as Sam Semela in Excaliber Shakespeare Company's 1997 production of Athol Fugard's "Master Harold And The Boys" presented at The Heartland Cafe Studio Theatre of Rogers Park&nbsp; )&nbsp;appeared multiple summer seasons as A Comedic Renaissance Faire Performer and served as an Instructor of Performers at the popular outdoor venue known as The King Richard's Faire ( later, Bristol Renaissance Faire) of Kenosha, Wisconsin.&nbsp;
And it was at this rural and rustic location that your humble servant, Darryl Maximilian Robinson, appeared for the second time in A Principal Role In A Musical Mystery.
In 1986, playing on stage weekends from July 3rd through August 15th, he appeared as the historic and infamous Tomas de Torquemada, The Grand Inquisitor of Spain ( who in this comedic storyline was a bit of both detective and suspect attending A Royal Wedding where a visiting high noble gets horrifically dispatched ) in "Murder, They Quoth," the musical comedy mystery WHODUNIT Grand Scenario that starred Chicago Emmy Award-winning producer, actor, singer, comedian and master puppeteer the late, great and beloved Ray Nelson as King Richard of the Faire that year.
Improvisation ( and Improv Comedy ) was the standing directorial order of the day in performing and acting a character of the Renaissance Era on the grounds of the expansive and lively southeastern Wisconsin KRF fairesite, visited by thousands of guests per day.
YES, THERE WAS RELENTLESS TORTURE, MURDER AND MAYHEM, TO BE SURE! BUT BACKSTAGE IS WHERE THE INQUISITION STARTS!
With a very funny base script and storyline by skilled comedy writers Patti Mckenny and Doug Frew ( who also wrote clever adapted lyrics to apply to Broadway and pop tunes and classic rock and roll, and for Mr. Robinson's Torquemada, a riff on Bizet's "Carmen", it was hilarious stuff )! And with Artistic Director John T. Mills' command: "If it's not funny, I don't want to see it on my stage!", all concerned knew they had to step up their game.
And writer / scene director Patti Mckenny gave the best advice ever to a musical theatre performer: "If the joke's not all the way done, if the punch line's not perfect...VAMP UNTIL READY!".

But, when THE VAMPING WAS OVER, and the joke scored laughs and applause from The Guests, That Moment Was Pure Gold!
And, no matter where you were, what stage on the fairesite, what open area, what village street, if KRF Artistic Director John T. Mills caught you getting a big laugh, he would say: "That was good. That was really funny...I guess you can come back and work next weekend."
Even if you were already under contract.
GOD, HOW THIS OLD STAGE ACTOR MISSES THE FAIRE!
Featured here are links to photos and articles of your humble servant in The Theatre, Darryl Maximilian Robinson, as His Eminence Tomas de Torquemada, The Grand Inquisitor of Spain in the 1986 musical comedy mystery Grand Scenario "Murder, They Quoth" at the 14th Annual King Richard's Faire of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The part of Grand Inquisitor Tomas de Torquemada of Spain in Patti Mckenny's and Doug Frew's 1986 Grand Scenario Musical Whodunit "Murder, They Quoth" represents The Second of this stage performer's experience of Three Principal Roles In A MUSICAL MYSTERY.
LONG LIVE THE FAIRE!<a href="https://theatreblogofdarrylmaximilianrobinson.blogspot.com/2026/06/escs-darryl-maximilian-robinson.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://theatreblogofdarrylmaximilianrobinson.blogspot.com/2026/06/escs-darryl-maximilian-robinson.html</a>

EARTH. TAKE A GOOD LOOK. IT MIGHT BE YOUR LAST. On July 2, a giant alien mothership enters orbit around Earth and deploys several dozen saucer-shaped ‘destroyer’ spacecraft that quickly lay waste to major cities around the planet.
