‘Tis The Season: Around The World

Robert Karma Robinson (actor, singer, ex-dancer, man in the street, Johnny on the spot, self-proclaimed Batman) is a Brooklyn/Houston native. Most might remember his B Street debut in the short-lived run of Byhalia, Mississippi in 2020. When the pandemic shuttered the Sofia, he became a consistent fixture in the B Social online offerings. When the Sofia re-opened he returned as a full-fledged B Street Company Member in Dance Nation. YAY HEY! Some of his most notable credits include Driving Miss Daisy at The Vineyard Playhouse on Martha's Vineyard, as well as the world premiere of Expedition Six (written/dir. Bill Pullman) at the Kennedy Center. He originated roles in Ricardo Khan's Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Swing and Fly at Saint Louis Rep. and Cincinnati Playhouse In the Park, respectively. One of his favorite roles was Tom Robinson in Montana Repertory Theater's national tour of To Kill A Mockingbird for the 50th anniversary of the book. Rob received his BFA from the University of Evansville and then MFA from the National Theatre Conservatory. He is glad to be working to live rather than living to work as so many are in these trying days! One love.

Gabriela is excited to be making her B Street Theatre debut. Favorite credits include Margaret/Conrade in Much Ado About Nothing (Stella Adler Studio), Martha Cratchit in A Christmas Carol (Actors Theatre of Louisville), and Isabela in Lola (Playwrights Horizons Downtown). Most recently, Gabriela was Witch 1 in Macbeth as part of the Sacramento Shakespeare Festival. She received a BFA in Drama from NYU Tisch and completed Actors Theatre of Louisville apprenticeship program. A Sacramento native, she attended Tsukamoto, Beitzel, Smedburg, and Sheldon. Gabriela is grateful to her family for their unwavering belief, her partner Luis for his constant support, and for Sacramento for raising her. @gabby_franky
