Two people. An orchestra’s worth of sound. A story of freedom that reminds us what we can build together.Nygel D. Robinson, co-writer and co-star of the award-winning musical MEXODUS, joins Jenn Quader and Dr. Kelly Culver for a conversation about creativity, ancestral resilience, and the power of solidarity.Through hip-hop and live looping, Robinson and collaborator Brian Quijada bring to life a story inspired by the Underground Railroad that led south into Mexico. Their onstage partnership becomes its own metaphor: small acts of support can build something far greater than any one person could create alone.Nygel shares his journey from church music and high school theater in La Grange, North Carolina, to professional stages. He also challenges the idea that resilience means pushing through at any cost, exploring how discipline, rest, joy, and reinvention sustain a creative life.His honors include an Outer Critics Circle Award for lead performance and shared awards for MEXODUS’s score, book, and music. The musical has earned 15 awards, including the Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Musical.IN THIS EPISODE • The family, teachers, and mentors who helped Nygel find his voice • Balancing artistic rigor with rest and self-respect • Creating MEXODUS during the pandemic • Honoring ancestors through music and storytelling • How two performers create an orchestra’s worth of sound • Why small acts of solidarity can become a movement • Finding the “why” behind your resilienceCHAPTERS 00:00 Meet Nygel Robinson and MEXODUS 02:27 Ancestral resilience and family roots 04:36 Growing up in La Grange, North Carolina 06:07 Church music, hip-hop, and discovering theater 16:12 Tough love, mentorship, and discipline 18:37 The eight-show week: resilience and sustainability 25:00 Rest, ancestry, and the right to recharge 29:54 The Underground Railroad that led south 30:20 Creating MEXODUS and finding purpose during the pandemic 35:19 Joy, solidarity, and an orchestra of sound 38:10 Small moments that create a movement 40:04 Passing the story to new performers 42:43 Rapid-fire resilience questions 46:01 What is the “why” behind your resilience? 47:05 Navigating criticism from family 49:26 Connect with NygelLearn more about Nygel D.
