Oct 10 (Thu) Craig Robinson
800pm. Special Homecoming Week Performance. Having just
completed his seventh season of the Emmy-winning The Office on
NBC, Robinson portrayed acerbic Dunder-Mifflin employee Darryl
Philbin. In the past few years, he has made his mark in the film
world as well stealing scenes in every project he appears. He made
audiences question their notions of vanity playing the sensitive
bouncer in KNOCKED UP, kept them glued to their seats as one of
the henchman hunting Seth Rogen and James Francos bumbling
stoner characters in PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, and shocked them silly
at the end of FANBOYS as the surprise guest playing a THX
Security Guard on site at Lucas Ranch. This year finally gave fans
what they have been waiting for with Robinson turning spotlight
moments into leading roles in films such as THIS IS THE END and
PEEPLES. Note This performance may contain content that is
offensive and may be inappropriate for younger audience
