Anthony Brown returns with Paul Robeson Tribute show

GOSHEN — The story of this gifted American hero who struggled and triumphed comes alive in a 90-minute, song-filled, multimedia presentation by Anthony Brown.

“I Go On Singing: Paul Robeson’s Life in Word and Song” is performed by Brown, an American baritone and international peace ambassador. Accompanied by narrator, pianist and archival video footage, Brown reveals Robeson as a towering figure in American history and a champion for peace and human rights for much of the 20th century.

“I Go On Singing” brings music and history alive with equal parts documentary and live concert experience, according to information provided by The Goshen Theater. Musical numbers range from spirituals to Broadway and include Robeson’s original arrangements of favorites such as “Wade in the Water,” “Ol Man River,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” “Water Boy” and others. In addition, Robeson’s musical colleague, the legendary folk singer Pete Seeger, makes two video appearances discussing his friendship with Robeson, the music they shared, and the turbulent times in which they lived.

Tickets are $10 and available online here through the Goshen Theater website, goshentheater.com.

Grant Mudge talks Shakespeare

GOSHEN — “Grant Mudge: Playing With Shakespeare” will take place at The Goshen Theater at 4 p.m. Sunday.

Mudge has a new solo show that is part performance, part talk/discussion. Mudge’s offering this year is a riff on Shakespeare’s comedies, with “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” highlighted.

According to information provided by Goshen Theater, “From the outright Clowns to the blustery Capitanos, Mudge pairs some of Shakespeare’s most recognizable comedic roles with some overlooked gems that rarely see stage time.”

Part of a series with the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival, for which Mudge is the Ryan Family producing artistic director, his show is designed to appeal to the uninitiated and aficionado alike.

This is not a ticketed event.
