ABOUT THE ARTIST
Colin Villacorte is many things. An actor, musician, writer, singer-songwriter, composer, arranger, teacher, but at the end of the day he is a collaborative spirit who thrives off of storytelling and performance. He is a recent graduate of Point Park University in Pittsburgh, with a BFA 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 played Feste in Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Park’s production of Twelfth Night in September 2024. He was most recently seen as an actor within the 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. 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 was forced into piano at a young age, but he still knows how to play!). He teaches 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 the drummer for 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.
