Ken Robinson
Biography
Broadway: Summer: The Donna Summer Musical; The Color Purple (2016 Revival); Memphis; Baby, It’s You! Off-Broadway: The Harder They Come. Ken has performed on stages across the country. His favorite show, however, is the one he created, wrote and performed at the Actors Theatre of Louisville with his wife Christina, Still Ready, an electric live production blending original songs, evocative artwork, and spoken word poetry, celebrating faith, family and the joy of expansive Black and Afro-Latina artistry. All my love to Christina, Mari, Bennie & Trace.
