About

Matt Fama acting in a play.

My name is Matt Fama (He/Him) and I’m a New York based theatre artist. Live theatre has been my passion since the age of seven; I enjoy the thrill of being in the moment in front of a live audience and getting the chance to try something new and groundbreaking. My performance range has ventured into the realms of drama, comedy, musical theatre, Shakespeare, and varied experimental works. I am seen by my colleagues as a dependable, hardworking, kind individual who always gives his all. 

As a writer, I create works typically about outsiders in the world and those struggling/coping with mental health. I try to convey an honest depiction of the issues with understanding, compassion, and hopefulness. My inspiration for my works usually comes from the darker side of human nature, combined with elements of the macabre and the absurd, which usually results in a search for answers to what it means to be fully human.

My hope is to create and perform in works that both ignite and strengthen the conversation in mental health, thereby playing a small part in breaking the stigma surrounding the topic.

Through my acting and my writing, I hope to convey that it’s okay to be different and there are many things in this life, positive or negative, that can connect us. Aside from the performing arts, I enjoy the Marvel Cinematic Universe, SpongeBobSquarePants, true crime, the paranormal, and Tim Burton flicks. Thank you for visiting!
