The World Is My Home: The Life of Paul Robeson

“Powerful and poignant, heartfelt and humorous” Cape Cod Times. Celebrate Father’s Day as Santa Monica Playhouse pays homage to Paul Robeson with film, TV and stage personality Stogie Kenyatta’s acclaimed NAACP Award-Winning show about the renowned African-American artist-activist. Robeson. Internationally renowned actor, recording artist, concert singer, football player, All-American athlete and Phi Beta Kappa Society laureate at Rutgers University, was witness to the artistic wonders of the Harlem Renaissance and the Jazz/Be-bop era, the horrors of the slave trade, the shame of the Holocaust, McCarthyism, blacklists, racism and oppression. His life’s work celebrates our common humanity as he fought globally for social justice. Says Kenyatta, “Armed with nothing more than the strength of his convictions and his vision of a world where men live as brothers, his message was his life. He shows us that in spite of our differences, we still have more in common than we do in conflict.”
