Weiner was born Edward Randall Weiner, the son of a New York banker and lawyer. He graduated cum laude from Harvard University. On October 1, 1995, he married fellow theater arts graduate Diane Paulus.

Weiner and Paulus along with a few other theater school graduates established a small theater troupe in New York City called Project 400 Theatre Group. With Project 400, Weiner and Paulus specialized in creating avant-garde musical productions which married classic theater and modern music. These included a rock version of The Tempest, an R&B Phaedra and a hip-hop Lohengrin.

In collaboration with Paulus, Weiner co-created The Donkey Show, a disco adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream which ran off-Broadway from 1999 to 2005 and was revived in 2009 for Paulus' first production as director of the American Repertory Theater. Critics cited the production as an exemplary of a trend in which edgy avant-garde theater had become fashionably mainstream.
