ROBERT MARRA

Born and raised in New York City, Robert got bitten by the "theatre bug" at a very early age, and blessed with a very supportive family, started pursuing his dreams.

        By the time Robert was 18, he had perfomed in and directed countless shows through junior high and high school, been a member of the NY All-State Chorus, worked as an actor in many community theatre productions, taught dance, began choreographing professionally, and even had the privilige of performing at Lincoln Center.

        Following that, he auditioned for and was accepted into First ACT, a wonderful theatre company in Manhattan, where he received an invaluable amount of training.

        After a few work filled years which included Off-Broadway, The Kennedy Center, Regional and Summer Stock seasons at Bucks County Playhouse, Pocono Playhouse, Falmouth Playhouse and Shawnee Playhouse, Robert ventured out West to Los Angeles.

        Delighted to find far more theatre there than he anticipated, Robert has had the pleasure of working with many wonderful California theatres including Reprise, Musical Theatre West, McCoy Rigby, American Musical Theatre of San Jose, Cabrillo Music Theatre, San Diego Musical Theatre, Performance Riverside, Welk Resort Theatre, The Actor's Co-Op, Sierra Madre Playhouse, The Met Theatre, The Norris Theatre, Glendale Centre Theatre, Theatre League, and The Hollywood Bowl -- working with some amazing artists such as Jason Alexander, Jodi Benson, Carol Channing, Kay Cole, Roger Daltry, Jon Engstrom, Melissa Errico, Malcom Gets, Jerry Herman, Gordon Hunt, Jeremy Irons, Angela Lansbury, John Lithgow, Lee Martino, Ken Page, Josh Radnor, Jennifer Westfeldt, Lillias White, Chryssie Whitehead, and Rachel York. NY credits include work with New York Stage and Film, Madair Productions, Play Group Theatre, and The 13th St. Repertory Company.

          Robert also sailed the seas as a Lead Vocalist/Guest Entertainer for Princess Cruises traveling to the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean,  Mexico, and many other incredible destinations.

        With over 20 years of experience working professionally, Robert now happily calls both New York and Los Angeles "home", and  continues to live his dream of a life filled with theatre.
