Starting off the New Year is a compelling one-man show making its New Orleans premiere, The World is My Home: The Life of Paul Robeson by Los Angeles based actor and playwright Stogie Kenyatta. The remarkable genius of Robeson comes to life as Kenyatta takes audiences on a dynamic journey of Robeson's accomplishments as Broadway bass-baritone, actor, orator, athlete, lawyer, singer, author, scholar, activist and linguist, set to a soundtrack of jazz, be-bop, big band, and gospel. One of Robeson's most famous roles was Joe in the musical Show Boat, featuring the famous song "Ol' Man River." This is a two-performance-only presentation on JANUARY 23 at 7:30 p.m. and JANUARY 24 at 2:00 p.m.
