"I am a singer and an actor. I am primarily an artist. Had I been born in Africa, I would have belonged, I hope, to that family which sings and chants the glories and legends of the tribe. I would have liked in my mature years to have been a wise elder, for I worship wisdom and knowledge of the ways of men"
- Paul Robeson, 1938

In 1996, Robey undertook its first production, successfully mounting Patrick Sheane Duncan's "Souls On Fire". Robey also became a non-profit, tax exempt 501 (c)(3) organization and hired a part-time artistic director to oversee operations in 1996.

1999 - 1999 began as a banner year for RTC. Robey co-produced, with East-West Players, the world premiere of "Yohen", a play by Phillip Kan Gotanda. August saw the West Coast premiere of Thomas Gibbon's remarkable play "Bee-Luther-Hatchee".

2000/2001 - Some years are silver, others are gold. 2000/2001 was a golden year for the Robey Theatre Company. Robey Produced two critically-acclaimed productions and won awards for excellence.

Robey joined with the Greenway Arts Alliance in June of 2001 to mount the epic first installment of "For the Love of Freedom" by Levy Lee Simon. "Part I: Toussaint (the Soul) Rise and Revolution" was an enormous undertaking for both theatre companies- a period piece with more than 30 actors, a set that encompassed the entire theatre and a theme that revealed the little known history of the successful Haitian Slave Revolt. Robey and Greenway were nominated for 10 NAACP Image Awards for the production. We won three awards for directing, ensemble acting and costume design.

In August, Robey and Legacy Productions of Chicago joined together to produce Christopher Moore's "The Last Season" directed by Legacy's Chuck Smith. The production included noted film actor and Legacy co-founder Harry Lennix and Robey's Artistic Director Ben Guillory as a part of the ensemble cast. The extended run played to packed houses with rave reviews.
