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, MS 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.
