Robyn Peterman-Zahn has joined the staff at Paragon Music Theatre as the new Artistic Director. A former Lexingtonian, who after many years is a Lexingtonian again, Robyn has spent the last twenty years as a professional actress. Broadway and National tour credits include Damn Yankees, A Chorus Line, 42nd Street, and Bye Bye Birdie. Robyn's regional credits are extensive. Film credits include Sour Grapes, Turkey Cake, and Unexcused Absence. Television credits include Boys and Girls, Chicago Sons, numerous unaired pilots and over 30 commercials. Robyn is a graduate of Northwestern University with a B.S. in theatre. She is a member of Screen Actors Guild and Actors Equity Association. Her main reason for wanting to be part of Paragon is the passion, joy, talent, and love of theatre displayed by Ryan Shirar (Executive Director) and Diana Evans (Choreographer). Robyn looks forward to many wonderful productions, a lot of hard work and a lot of fun.
