Interrupted Solos
The Paul Robeson Players, as we are commonly refered, will put on a
production entitled "Interrupted Solos" in commemoration of Paul
Robeson's centenial birthday. We are the only theater group of our
kind on a predominately white campus and therefore we embrace many of
Robeson's idealogies and opinions on theater. Interrupted Solos is
a performance which consists of vignettes, monologues, dances, and
songs which portray the complexities of Black life in America.
