BLUE MAN GROUP performances are a celebration of human connection. Mixing art, music, comedy and state-of-the-art technology, the show encourages audiences to reconnect with their inner (and outer) child and see the world through a new perspective. Three bald and blue men explore our cultural norms with wide-eyed wonder, poking fun at our collective quirks and reminding us how much we all have in common.

BLUE MAN GROUP is not just a show featuring three bald and blue men, it’s a total immersive experience. We think of the Blue Man as an “everyman” – he really holds a mirror up to us and our culture and helps us laugh at ourselves a bit, and see ourselves and our world a bit differently. The real goal of any BLUE MAN GROUP show is to celebrate all that we have in common as human beings—to celebrate our curiosity, our creativity, and our need for community.

DARRYL MAXIMILIAN ROBINSON SHARES A CLASSIC DYLAN THOMAS POEM BEFORE THE HISTORIC VISTA MOVIE THEATRE AT SUNSET AND HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD IN LOS ANGELES!

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, recently performed and recorded a classic work by the late and acclaimed Welsh poet Dylan Thomas at a historic Los Angeles movie house.

Built in 1922 / 1923 by architect Lewis Smith, The Vista Movie Theater at Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard near both the Los Feliz and East Hollywood neighborhoods of Los Angeles has a more than 100-year history as a venue to enjoy films on its handsome screen in a building that features Spanish Misson-style architecture on its exterior and Egyptian Revival-themed decor within its interior.

Originally named the Lou Bard Playhouse ( as when it opened on October 9, 1923 it also featured on stage live vaudeville and music acts as well as silent movies ), The Vista Movie Theatre has a vast, storied background in film and entertainment history, and is one of the last remaining cinematic houses from the silent film era which still stands in Los Angeles.

And since 2021, The Vista has had the distinction of inspired new ownership. Surviving a complete shut down during the height of The Covid-19 pandemic, this currently 400-seat gem of a venue is now under the leadership and operation of Academy Award-winning Screenwriter and Oscar-nominated Director and Producer Quentin Tarantino.

Having made the decision to visit this famed venue for the first time to see the new hit horror film "Sinners," veteran and award-winning stage actor and Excaliber Shakespeare Company Los Angeles Archival Project Founder, Artistic Director and Producer Darryl Maximilian Robinson ( winner of a 2022 Making The World Happening Award for his numerous online theatre-related offerings during the Covid-19 pandemic from Allevents.in ) took a moment before entering this legendary architectural space to add a new edition to his video collection of "street-theatre" style recordings of classic poems and speeches and shares a recitation of Welsh Poet Dylan Thomas' earliest published work: "The Song of The Mischievous Dog." It marks the first public presentation by his multiracial theatre and video group The Excaliber Shakespeare Company Los Angeles Archival Project this year.

Ably assisted by talented and aspiring Actor, Photographer and Videographer Tywayne Burns, a newcomer to ESC, Darryl Maximilian Robinson is pleased to share this new April 27, 2025 recorded presentation of this Dylan Thomas work written when the Welsh literary master was only 11 years old and which was the very first of his poems to be published.

Darryl Maximilian Robinson's "street theatre"-style rendition of Dylan Thomas' 'The Song of The Mischievous Dog" can currently be viewed on YouTube.

Enjoy.

“Wonderful! This is genuine Lewis Carroll, updated with witty alliterations and puns. Skillful direction and humorous extractions from the original Alice gives everyone something to enjoy. Evelyn Rudie and Chris DeCarlo, ‘parents’ of the repertory company, are to be applauded for keeping children’s theatre alive and well.” PONY RIDE

Kids 2 to 102 join Alice as she accepts an invitation from the Queen of Hearts to return to the Wonderland of her youth. Will Alice prevail, or are the Cards stacked against her? Will the Queen suffer a heart attack? Lovely audience participation throughout the production helps Alice set a topsy-turvy Wonderland aright in this zany musical comedy.

“A winning blend of vaudeville, English pantomime and music hall.” Drama-logue

The internationally acclaimed Family Theatre musical comedy, performed on three continents over the past 45 years, is presented by renowned Actors’ Repertory Theatre, and features Holly Gibson, Amanda Hornberger, Isabel Lindley, J.T. Melaragno, Michala Peltz, Megan Wright with Cydne Moore, Joseph Perez and Graham Silbert.

“STRONGLY RECOMMENDED! A splendid children’s theatrical experience with a terrific new twist. The quality of performance is so pure and bright that children are fascinated throughout, all the while being exposed to superior theater that does not pander to their young age. The music and lyrics by Evelyn Rudie are the magic of the show. They provide a style and energy that keeps the children glued to the action.” L.A. PARENT

Gorgeous costumes by award-winning designer Ashley Hayes, lilting musical numbers and a charmingly bedecked rose garden enhance the "clever clowning and buoyant silliness" (L.A. Times) of this audience favorite crowd-pleaser. Written and directed by Evelyn Rudie and Chris DeCarlo.
