What does it mean to be an American? Actor Steve Dooner shares a powerful story about the great African-American singer and activist Paul Robeson. Despite being exiled to Canada and denied a cabaret card in his own country, Robeson never stopped calling himself an American. "My family built this country," he said. "We gave it its primary wealth. Why wouldn't I be an American?" Steve brings this story into the heart of The Company Theatre Center for the Arts' production of Cabaret, reminding us that the questions at the center of the musical aren't just history, they're now. Where do we come from? How do we connect with each other? What does it mean to belong?
