Robinson hails from Visalia, California, a town outside Fresno that has been distinguished as the raisin capital of the world and the teen pregnancy capital of the nation.

"Despite all the role switching, a few actors stand out, including Rebecca Robinson, a new apprentice in the company, as Katherine. This play [Shakespeare's Henry V] gives little space to women, but Ms. Robinson gives the French princess a provocative innocence and a teasing intelligence that are exactly right." - D. J. R. Bruckner, The New York Times.
