ABOUT THE ARTIST
Colin Villacorte is many things. An actor, musician, singer-songwriter, composer, arranger, award-winning-comedy-sketch-writer, teacher, but he wants to be known as a collaborative spirit who thrives off of honest storytelling and excelling performance. As of April 2025 he is a graduate of Point Park University in Pittsburgh, with a Bachelors in Fine Arts in Acting. At Point Park he had been cast in six shows through the conservatory (Kentucky, Sense and Sensibility, ≈ [Almost Equal To], The Winter’s Tale, Arcadia, 12 Ophelias), been seen in student-directed work (Today, I Looked Up, The Mystery of Twicknam Vicarage, What is Love?), and worked with community theaters in his area (Twelfth Night, Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Park; Upper Room Theatre Ministry). He spent last summer as a member of the Acting Apprentice Company at Texas Shakespeare Festival in Kilgore, TX. He was in their productions of Twelfth Night, Macbeth, Kiss Me, Kate, and The Princess and the Players, which he was fight captain for Kiss Me, Kate, and The Princess and the Players, and co-composed (and performed his own) music in Twelfth Night. He most recently was a part of a staged reading festival with Avant Bard, reading for the play Overcoming Orion, by Abby Dunbar.
You can catch him as Cillian in Avant Bard Theatre’s world premiere production of The Two Gentlemen of Killarney this March, as well as in the musical Once at NextStop Theatre Company starting this May.
He taught himself how to play guitar over the COVID-19 pandemic, and has since then integrated his musical skills into some of the shows he’s been cast in. He has also taught himself how to play bass guitar, drums, percussion, ukulele, harmonica, and mandolin (he took piano lessons at a young age, but he still knows how to play!). He teaches music to his students back at home at Expressions Music Academy. He writes, records, and produces original alternative rock music under the name “Real Tearz”, which streams on all music streaming platforms. He is also a member of the cover band Frankie and the Urchins, who sing 50s/60s classics to today’s hits, and everything in between. He is an avid chef and foodie, loves cats and video games, going to the gym, and is always down for a few games of pickleball. He is currently based in the Washington Metro Area.
