Richard Stewart portrays Marcus Garvey in the play “I Marcus Garvey” which is being performed from March 16, 2011 to March 27, 2011 at the Peppermill Theatre (67 Pottery Road) in Toronto. For more information about the play go to http://www.theatrearchipelago.ca/.
Richard was born in Jamaica and moved to Canada (Ottawa) with his parents when he was five years old. In 1996, he moved to Toronto to pursue a career in acting or aviation. He chose acting and has not looked back since. He graduated with a degree in fine arts from York University in 2003.
During the interview, Richard talks and shares about various subjects such as his memories of Jamaica, starting and serving as president of “The Lions Circle” (http://www.thelionscircle.com/, an African Canadian Black men’s empowerment group based in Toronto, Ontario) from 2003 – 2008, how playing Marcus Garvey is the synthesis of two things that are important to him: arts and the uplifting Black people, the importance of Marcus Garvey and his importance to all Black people, how he landed the role and how theatre has changed his life.
