"Vision Warrior" is a theatrical lecture presentation conceived and performed by film and televison actor Scot Anthony Robinson. In the past nine years over one million educators, young people and their families throughout the United States have shared the electrifying experience of "Vision Warrior".
In a tour de force performance which is alternately raw, frightening, ironically funny but ultimately uplifting, Robinson stealthily engages the audience in recalling his experience of taking his first puff of marijuana at the tender age of 11.
90 minutes later audiences emerge from a graphic tour of his subsequent descent into a life of drug and alchohol addiction , a nightmarish downward spiral which left him homeless in 1992 on the streets of Los Angeles and New York. |

The Partnership for a Drug Free America has said that Robinson's presentation, which discusses and addresses young people's struggles with peer pressures , self esteem dilemmas, violence, sex, alchohol ,drugs and relationships is, "perhaps the best in the nation at reaching and impacting our youth on these critical topics."
The Partnership's collaboration with Robinson in creating a Public Service Announcement that featured excerpts from "Vision Warrior" subsequently garnered the prestigious New York
"ADDY" Award for best PSA .

Maria Cuomo Cole, Chairperson for the nationally acclaimed organization, H.E.L.P., writes to Dr. Rudolph Crew, the Chancellor of N.Y.C. Schools, I feel strongly that every school would benefit from his (Robinsons) work. His message is one we cannot afford to let bypass our young people.
