Robin Fusco

Robin has always loved creating. As an only child, she quickly learned to entertain herself and soon began making up plays for her stuffed animals to act out. Robin, of course, voiced all the characters. Lucky for her, Robin grew up on Long Island, New York, about thirty minute from Manhattan. After seeing a family friend on television, two-year-old Robin immediately declared she wanted to "ack." Since they were so close to the city, her parents decided to grant her wish and let her try. She booked her first audition! As a child and teenager Robin worked on many productions including Stepmom, The Sopranos, and Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn while still excelling in school. She was valedictorian of her high school, and during her time there she completed a science research project centering on a qualitative analysis of drama therapy. She also served as the Editor-in-Chief of the school paper and, in addition to her academic high school, simultaneously attended The Long Island High School for the Arts. At LIHSA she grew under the tutorage of Broadway veterans and learned both technique and the business of the business as a drama major and musical theatre and stage management minor. After receiving scholarships to several schools, Robin chose to attend Muhlenberg College for her undergraduate degree. She immersed herself in her studies, worked on numerous shows, and even had the opportunity to travel to ten countries while studying abroad at the University of London. Robin was ultimately graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor of Arts in theatre with a triple concentration in acting, directing, and performing studies. She booked several theater tours and ultimately moved back to New York. Then Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast. Without power or much in the way of entertainment, Robin grabbed a candle, a pencil, and some paper and began writing. She quickly discovered that she has a knack for it and has gone on to complete numerous screen and stage plays. Robin is currently pursuing her MFA in Writing for the Screen and Stage through Point Park University. Since it is writing, she is able to complete most of her work from her home base in New York City while actively working in the business as an actor and writer. In both her acting roles and her written work, Robin enjoys exploring how characters react to different situations and seeing what makes people tick. Robin continues acting, training, writing, working, and exploring, and she is excited to see what adventure comes next!
