ESC'S DARRYL MAXIMILIAN ROBINSON RECALLS HIS 2014 MAJOR-GENERAL STANLEY IN THE SAN PEDRO THEATRE CLUB 135TH ANNIVERSARY REVIVAL PRODUCTION OF GILBERT AND SULLIVAN'S "THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE"!: Chicago-born and stage-trained actor and play director Darryl Maximilian Robinson, winner of a 1997 Chicago Joseph Jefferson Citation Award for Outstanding Actor In A Principal Role In A Play and a 1997 Chicago Black Theatre Alliance / Ira Aldridge Award nomination for Best Leading Actor In A Play for his critically-praised performance as Sam Semela in The Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago revival production of Athol Fugard's "Master Harold And The Boys" presented at the much-missed Heartland Cafe Studio Theatre of Rogers Park as well as a 2019 Broadwayworld Chicago Award nomination for Best Performer In A Musical or Revue for his critically-praised performance of the dual roles of The Chairman Mr. William Cartwright and Mayor Thomas Sapsea in the 2018 Saint Sebastian Players of Chicago revival production of Rupert Holmes' "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" staged at the more than a century old St. Bonaventure Church of West Lakeview, shares video of one of his most favorite Los Angeles stage roles: Major-General Stanley in the 2014 San Pedro Theatre Club's 135th Anniversary revival production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance." RECALLING THE 2014 SAN PEDRO THEATRE CLUB 135TH ANNIVERSARY REVIVAL PRODUCTION OF GILBERT AND SULLIVAN'S "THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE"!" "Perhaps most of all, it requires a sterling Major-General Stanley. This is the role that everyone remembers, and Darryl Maximilian Robinson was delicious singing the Major-General's "I Am the Very Model of a Model Major-General," adding just a touch of allowed originality to the part by interacting with the audience. His was a genuinely memorable performance worth seeing again." -- John Farrell, Review: Exciting 'Pirates' attacks San Pedro Theatre Club, The Daily Breeze, Oct. 21, 1014.&nbsp; Darryl Maximilian Robinson's portrayal of Major-General Stanley in "The Pirates of Penzance" garnered critical acclaim, showcasing his comedic talent and impressive vocal skills in this beloved Gilbert &amp; Sullivan operetta. Overview of Role: Excaliber Shakespeare Company of Chicago and Excaliber Shakespeare Company Los Angeles Archival Project Founder, Artistic Director and Producer Darryl Maximilian Robinson starred ( opposite Jennifer Sperry as Mabel Stanley, Drew Fitzsimmons as The Pirate King, Chris Yeschenko as Fredric and Cindy Irwin Bullock as Ruth ) as Major-General Stanley in the 2014 San Pedro Theatre Club's 135th Anniversary Revival Production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance." This role is often recognized as one of the most iconic in the operetta, particularly noted for its signature song, "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General." Background in Theatre:&nbsp; Before undertaking this role, Darryl Maximilian Robinson was already an acclaimed actor, having received various Chicago and LA theater accolades throughout his career, including a 2013 Los Angeles Marcom Masque Theatre Award nomination for Best Actor In A Major Supporting Role for his role as the historic Black educator and orator Booker T. Washington in "Ragtime" and, most recently, both a 2022 Making The World Happening Award from Allevents.in for his numerous online theatre-related offerings and a 2024 Broadwayworld Los Angeles Award nomination for Best Supporting Performer In A Play for his portrayal of Chicago Tribune Newspaper Reporter Roy V. Bensinger in The Culver City Public Theatre revival production of Ben Hecht's and Charles MacArthur's 1928 stage comedy "The Front Page." His extensive training in both Shakespearean drama and musical theater equipped him perfectly for the demands of the character in "The Pirates of Penzance."

“This summer at Aire, we are excited to invite Chicagoans to experience our unbeatable atmosphere with a perfect blend of elevated cocktails and shareable summer bites” said Daniel Lewellin, Area Director of Sales and Marketing. “We are thrilled to be able to bring back the entertainment experiences our guests have come to know and love as well as expand the experience with new F&amp;B offerings to enjoy all summer long.”

Covering the entire West, South, and East facing sides of Aire, the iconic Chicago-inspired mural features inspiring modern techniques, such as the use of UV-light-sensitive paints, which transform the mural from daytime to evening. The painting depicts a&nbsp;woman looking at the landscape, her eyes cast on a lighthouse on the horizon. By day it is a window on an idyllic and relaxing scenery, by night it lights up in blue, revealing its mysterious side. The artwork covers an area of 350 square meters, which is the entire outer wall of the 24th floor of the Hyatt Centric Loop. 
With its central location, dramatic 360-degree view and contemporary décor,&nbsp;Aire’s unmatched urban atmosphere is at the peak of summer downtown destinations. Guests escaping their busy offices for an open-air hiatus or city visitors wanting to relax after a long day of exploring can unwind in luxury with friends over artisan drinks and mouthwatering bites. Considering Chicago’s unpredictable weather, Aire&nbsp;features open fireplaces for cool nights spent high above the city streets, and umbrellas for shade on sunny summer days. The rooftop is perfect for booking private events, corporate happy hours, and celebrations as well.
