The Robey Theatre Company

The Robey Theatre Company Robey's mission is to foster a community of artists. The Robey Theatre Company is a nonprofit developmental theatre organization.

We were founded in 1994 by veteran actors Ben Guillory and Danny Glover, who believed in the transformational power of plays. The organization began as a readers' circle focusing on “Black Classics.” Due to Black artists' lack of viable opportunities to work in Los Angeles, the founders expanded its mission to fill that void. In 1996, they incorporated The Robey Theatre Company to create more opportunities for Black theatre actors and playwrights. The Robey Theatre Company is committed to racial equality and cultural exchange. We welcome all regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, ability, citizenship, and orientation. We passionately believe that theatre is for everyone! For the past 15 years, The Robey Theatre Company has been housed in The Los Angeles Theatre Center in historic downtown Los Angeles. During the pandemic, all in-person events have been canceled, and all programming has been moved online.

The impact we leave on others often comes down to how we make them feel.

As artists and storytellers, we have the power to create meaningful moments that stay with people long after the curtain closes.

Maya Angelou reminds us: people may forget what we say or do, but they remember how we made them feel. Let’s lead with kindness, create with purpose, and leave a lasting impact.

As our journey with The Great Lover continues, we honor a production that celebrates the enduring brilliance of Alexandre Dumas—one of France’s greatest playwrights and novelists, whose African heritage remains a vital part of his legacy. Long before The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas captivated audiences with his theatrical works, and we are proud to have helped reintroduce one of these timeless stories to new generations.

To our extraordinary cast—**Tiffany Coty-Goines, Jenny Cadena, Joshua Bruce, Dane Gbrayes, Julio Hanson, Jason Mimms, CJ Obilom, Kermit C. Burns II, Talmadge Talib, **and all who contributed behind the scenes—thank you for your artistry, commitment, and heart.

This production’s journey—from 15 NAACP Theatre Award nominations and four wins to its invitation to the main stage of the International Black Theatre Festival—marks a defining chapter in The Robey Theatre Company’s history. Thank you International Black Theatre Festival (therobeytheatrecompany.org)

To our audiences, supporters, volunteers, and the entire IBTF community—thank you for your laughter, belief, and steadfast celebration of Black theatre.

Though the curtain falls, the story endures.

**Motivational Monday**

"Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time."
— **Malcolm X**

Every setback carries the possibility of growth. Challenges may slow us down, but they also strengthen our resolve, sharpen our purpose, and prepare us for what's ahead.

As we begin a new week, let's embrace every lesson, rise stronger than before, and continue moving forward with courage, determination, and hope.
