Walter F. Rodriguez is an award-winning Puerto Rican artist and arts administrator. After growing up in Dover, he began his career as a touring theatre actor before moving to television on The Onion News Network on IFC and The Onion Sportsdome on Comedy Central. It was during Walter's second season on The Onion News Network that the show won the prestigious Peabody Award. While working in television and living in New York, he began a concurrent career in photography, shooting fashion and editorial spreads for various publications, book covers for publishers like MacMillan, and working with designers like Giorgio Armani and the Kardashian's Dash Boutique on various print and digital projects.

He began further exploring the administrative side of the arts while in New York, serving as the Head Artifact Handler for the Discovery Times Square Exhibition center and helping to create New York Times-reviewed immersive experiences for Harry Potter: The Exhibition, Shipwreck! Pirates & Treasure, and Nathan Sawaya's The Art of the Brick. After moving back to Dover, Walter returned to his theatre roots, teaching and performing at various regional theatres and working in the field of new play development at Playwright's Theatre, the state's preeminent new work theatre. Walter continues to serve the arts community by teaching in the Center for Family Services' Mending Arts program, which helps children who've been through traumatic events to develop healthy, art-based coping mechanisms.
