The next installment of The Robey Theatre Company’s online series presents Blair Underwood. Underwood will discuss the current and future state of the Theatre, the impact of the pandemic on the performing arts, and the response of the arts to the recent global uprising in support of racial and social justice. This will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience.

He received a Tony® Award nomination for his role in the Broadway revival of A Soldier’s Play, which closed when Broadway was shuttered by the pandemic.

Law, over the course of 149 episodes. He has continued to work consistently on television, with recent starring or recurring roles in Self-Made: Inspired by the Life of Madame C.J. Walker; Dear White People; Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.; Quantico; When They See Us; and much more.
