Moments With Paul at SOOP Theatre Company

Before King dreamed, before Thurgood Marshall petitioned and Sidney Poitier emoted, before the big breakthroughs in Hollywood and Washington, before the Jim Crow signs came down, and before the Civil Rights banners went up, before Spike Lee, before Denzel Washington, before Jesse Jackson, there was… Paul Robeson! 

After the winter-time cancellation, SOOP is FINALLY able to bring this timely and impactful event to its audiences! "Moments With Paul" is a powerful spoken and sung retrospective on the life of this 20th-century Renaissance Man. Mr. Robeson used his fame as a performer to speak out against discrimination and for human rights... hear the stories and listen to the incredible repertoire of music, including his famous rendition of Old Man River! 

"Moments With Paul," starring Jason S McKinney as Paul Robeson and Christopher A Bagley as Lawrence Brown, premieres May 12th, 2023, at 8 PM at the 530 Studios.
