PAUL  ROBESON
SPEAKS  OUT!
February - March, 2005
at Erie Community College, Bennett High School, Nichols High School, and Amherst High School

     Subversive Theatre was proud to have the opportunity to reprise our four-star, Artie Award-nominate one-man tribute to the life and struggles of the legendary Black activist, actor, singer, and orator Paul Robeson.
     For Black History Month 2005, we teamed up with the Buffalo Ensemble Theatre once again to bring PAUL ROBESON SPEAKS OUT! to the Minnie Gillette Auditorium of Erie Community College's Downtown Campus from February 24th-26th.
     After a successful run downtown, we then took a shortened version of the play to various schools as an educational piece.  It was a joy to take this inspiring and empowering autobiographical play to young minds in schools as diverse as the Bennett Public High School and Nichols Private High School.  In the middle of the spectrum, we also performed for Amherst Public High School.
     It has been an honor to do our small part to keep alive the spirit of this awe-inspiring activist.
