About Me
Robin knew from an early age that she wanted to be an artist. A Philadelphia native, she participated in every music ensemble and theatre troupe, and even took summer school courses to free up time for extra art classes during the year in grade school. Her passion for the arts brought her to Washington, D.C., where in 2017 she graduated from the American University with a bachelor's degree in Musical Theatre and a minor in Art History.
Robin Weiner is currently working as an actress and visual artist in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area. Previously, Robin has worked for Flying V Theatre, Imagination Stage, Rorschach Theatre Co., Mosaic Theatre, American University, Annapolis Shakespeare Co., Theatre Prometheus and the Folger Shakespeare Theater.

In her downtime, Robin enjoys writing a webcomic, reading books before watching their movie adaptations, and writing comparative art historical analyses of famous paintings and pop culture (but hey, doesn't everybody?).
I received my BA in Musical Theater Performance from American University in 2017. I also studied classical acting with the British American Drama Academy Midsummer in Oxford Program in 2016.
I am also a gifted instrumentalist, I have played the violin since I was four years old and also recently picked up the ukulele and mandolin. I find the challenge of adapting to a new musical instrument incredibly fun and rewarding, particularly if it is stringed. I've been seen onstage playing guitar, keytar, electric bass, piano, and various percussive instruments as well!
Particularly funny is Ms. Weiner. Her solo “I Hate Men” is a highlight of the evening. Watching her fully commit to the frustration she feels with Fred and every other male, she nails every sigh, facial expression and holler. She is a very talented comedienne and is made for this type of musical comedy.

Kiss Me, Kate, 2018
Belle is above all a singing role, and Robin Weiner’s clear, strong vocals are the most sparkling musical ornaments of the production.

As Belle, Robin Weiner possesses a self-assurance on stage coupled with a strong singing voice.
Matt Reville, InsideNOVA
Robin Weiner acquits herself well as Belle in singing but also displaying a sensitive change in character in her song “A Change in Me.”

Beauty and the Beast, 2019
Weiner’s performance is remarkable on several levels. She opens the show with a violin solo and plays a wonderful violin even while she sings. Her voice is also sweet as the young woman and sad as she switches to play the child in “The Little Match Girl.” I was very moved with “Snow Song” at the beginning of the show and which reprises later in a duet with Naylor as the show closes. Weiner’s and Naylor’s first meeting is bright and full of laughs as they sing, “The Sales Pitch.”
