About - Rob Neill

I've spent more than twenty years making theater that invites people to lean in—whether that's as an actor, writer, teacher, producer, or arts leader.

I'm a founding ensemble member of the New York Neo-Futurists, where I helped build one of New York's longest-running experimental theater companies and recently completed a six-year term as Artistic Director. During that time I oversaw artistic programming, fundraising, partnerships, education initiatives, and the development of hundreds of original works while working alongside an extraordinary community of artists. It was demanding, joyful, occasionally chaotic, and one of the great privileges of my career.

Long before I found Neo-Futurism, I trained at Grinnell College, LAMDA, and the National Theater Institute. Since then I've performed everywhere from intimate downtown theaters to Broadway and national tours. Every experience has reinforced the same belief: the most memorable performance isn't about perfection—it's about genuine connection.

Teaching has become an equally important part of my work. I've led workshops and residencies for universities, theaters, and community organizations, helping artists, students, and professionals develop creativity, collaboration, ensemble practice, and confidence. I love creating spaces where people feel safe enough to take risks, discover something unexpected, and surprise themselves.

Whether I'm devising a new piece, directing a room full of collaborators, mentoring emerging artists, or stepping onstage myself, I'm interested in work that is generous, playful, deeply human, and rooted in the present moment.

These days I'm excited by projects that blur the lines between performance, education, and community building. I'm always interested in collaborating with artists, producing organizations, schools, and institutions that believe live performance can bring people together in meaningful ways.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope we have the chance to make something together.
