Hey! I’m Valentina Rodriguez, and welcome to my website!
A Bit About Me:
I’m from right outside of New York City (30 miles to be exact!)
As a kid, I was incredibly shy, but my heart always belonged to music. I would go around my house singing when I thought no one was listening. Then, when I joined my middle school's Seussical the Musical, I knew I wanted to be a part of this for the rest of my life.
Years later, I graduated summa cum laude from The University at Buffalo Honors College with a BFA in Music Theatre and a minor in Education.
Now, in addition to performing, I work with young performers as both a director and a performance coach. I’ve also had the opportunity to work behind the table as an assistant director, social media manager, & production assistant.
When I’m not on stage, backstage, or at Ripley Grier, you’ll probably find me with a coffee in hand and getting lost in my Kindle, or watching the Golden Girls with my Maltese pups.
What’s The Buzz?
“…[Valentina]Rodriguez ping pongs seamlessly between emotions as she takes in new pieces of information… The moment she wrests control of the narrative is really something to see, & Rodriguez nails it.” -Pete Kramer
“… [Ms. Rodriguez] must keep [her] footing solid while riding a roller-coaster of emotions, and [she] clearly [is] up to the formidable task.” -Bruce Apar, Broadway World
What’s Happening?
I’ll be performing at The Laurie Beechman Theatre as a part of the A Dream Needs Believing cabaret! Tickets HERE.
There’s also something exciting coming soon…
