STAGE

Guillaume’s Good Spirit: Robert Guillaume will receive an “EMI,” the first USC Black Alumni Assn. award, on Friday at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The EMI, pronounced “eh-MEE,” means “good spirit” in the Yoruban language of Nigeria. The award acknowledges Guillaume’s consistent acceptance of roles that are positive models for African Americans. The presentation, which follows Guillaume’s “Phantom of the Opera” performance, will feature Mayor Tom Bradley as a speaker.
