A Welcome Message from Ben Guillory
Co-Founder and Producing Artistic Director
About Us
The Robey Theatre Company is dedicated to developing and producing plays that explore the global Black experience.
Founded in 1994 as a Reader’s Circle focused on Black classics, the company was formally incorporated in 1996 by veteran actors, longtime collaborators and friends Ben Guillory and Danny Glover. Motivated by a shared commitment to creating space for Black artists in Hollywood and beyond, they established Robey as a platform for bold, transformative storytelling.
We are a community of artists, creatives, and changemakers who believe in the power of theatre to inspire, challenge, and connect. Our work is rooted in collaboration, exploration, and care. We provide a nurturing, inclusive environment where BIPOC artists can thrive—on stage, behind the scenes, and in every part of the creative process.
Education
Advanced Scene Study Workshop
Actors are encouraged to develop their craft through the study and practice of theatrical disciplines - voice , speech, movement, analysis, and human behavior.
Playwright’s Lab
The Playwright’s Lab is dedicated to the art of storytelling and
high-quality playmaking. The process is collaborative and designed to encourage artistic growth and expression. Built into the design are opportunities for ongoing feedback through guided discussion.
The Robey Theatre Company has and will always serve our community. In the words of Dr. DuBois, "By us, for us, about us, and near us."
