CURRENTLY...

My name is Rachel Alvarez-Robinson and I am a Cuban and Jewish (or "Jewban", as I like to call myself) performer originally from West Palm Beach, Florida. I am proud to come from maybe the only family that eats Ropa Vieja at Rosh Hashanah dinner!

 

I began my training at Dreyfoos School of the Arts and later continued my arts education at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where I earned a BFA in Musical Theatre with an emphasis in Songwriting. Along with performing and songwriting, I discovered a passion for directing and developing new work. During my time at BoCo, I revived New Ground Theatre Company, where I served as the lead producer and artistic director for ten new productions. Safe to say college kept me very busy! To learn more about my experience as a director/producer and my journey in releasing music, check out my DIRECTING and MUSIC tabs.

 

In my free time, I love relaxing on the couch with an unconventional salty snack—blue cheese-stuffed olives are my favorite—strumming my guitar, or diving into a good novel. I draw a lot of inspiration from female singer-songwriters, especially Gracie Abrams, Joni Mitchell and Adrienne Lenker. I'm also a devoted fan of the reality TV show Survivor and have watched every season. Oh! And I have a serious fear of enclosed water slides.
