Tony Robinson is an Indiana native with over three decades of show business experience He started his professional career as a drummer at the age of twelve. A year later he expanded his understanding of theater by moving from the orchestra pit to the stage.

He took every opportunity to act in productions as diverse as "Finian's Rainbow" to Murat/Sade". While in college he studied and developed his acting and writing techniques and eventually moved into directing.

He collaborated with the late John Casella (keyboardist for John Mellencamp) on an experimental rock theater presentation. In 1976, Robinson expanded his experiences when he moved into radio. That led to the chance to join a television ensemble that produced a rather strange late night TV show in Indianapolis called, TURKEY HELPER.

In the 80-s combined, his skills in music and theater to direct and perform in stage shows aboard such luxury cruise ships as The Norway.

In the 90's Robinson returned to theatrical directing with the creation of two one-man shows for himself. From there, he went-on to direct a string of shows including an all Spanish language operetta, several one-performer shows (including a tribute to the late Pearl Bailey which gave him a chance to meet one of his musical idols, dmmmer Louie Bellson) and two well-received one act plays by award winning playwright, Brad Slaieht.
