The passing of Ronald (Ron) Owen Robinson A.A.

Dec 17, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

On this solemn occasion, on behalf of The National School of Theatre Arts and Drama, and also of the National Drama Company, I pay tribute to Ronald Owen Robinson, A.A., numbered among the great theatre and broadcasting personalities of Guyana.

Ron Robinson was an actor, director, producer, radio and TV broadcaster, co-founder of The Theatre Company, Production Director of Merundoi radio series, former Chairman of the Theatre Guild, whose name became a household word in Guyana.

He was famous for several memorable plays, dramatic performances, radio programmers, TV satirical series, and was the winner of many awards and prizes. Ron reigned for decades as the nation’s best actor and best director.

He served as a tutor at the Drama School, was a pioneering TV news anchor, broke records with Gem Madhoo for the longest running and most popular dramatic productions, and contributed to culture in diverse ways.

The loss of Ron Robinson signifies the passing of an age of greatness and achievement in Guyanese theatre and drama. The National School of Theatre Arts and Drama, like the entire Guyanese nation, is in his debt, and on this solemn and reflective occasion, acknowledges an outstanding artist and says thanks to Ron.

Al Creighton Jnr., Director of Studies
