Hi there! I'm Robin Rothstein...

...a proven content writer and creator specializing in several topic areas, including arts & culture, the housing market, and health & wellness.
I write news, features, evergreen content, interviews, "Best" reviews, and more that engage audiences and drive website traffic. I'm also highly skilled in scriptwriting, short-form video production, and repurposing content.
In addition to my former role as a senior staff writer at Forbes Advisor, I'm a published playwright and commissioned bookwriter-lyricist, with work produced nationally and internationally. My stage work has been reviewed or featured in the New York Times, Playbill.com, Theatermania, New York Daily News, and other media outlets, and has also been covered on WNBC-TV, NY1, and Broadway.com.
As the book writer-lyricist of the kids' musical, Mad Libs Live!, I originated the idea of adapting the "World's Greatest Word Game," Mad Libs, for the stage, secured the rights from Penguin Random House, and helped usher the project to an Off-Broadway world premiere run at New World Stages. Mad Libs Live! is licensed through Concord Theatricals, and the original cast album is available via the Grammy Award-winning label, Broadway Records.
As an arts journalist, I've written theater reviews for Time Out New York and have been a features contributor for Broadway.com.
On the business side of the theater industry, I served for 11+ years as Director of Operations at Broadway Across America, a subsidiary of the John Gore Organization, and one of the world's leading companies presenting first-class national tours of Broadway shows, like Hamilton, Wicked, and The Lion King. In addition to my operations duties at BAA, I also served as the editor and a contributor to our internal company newsletter, The JGO Quarterly.
Prior to BAA, I was a booking associate at The Road Company, where I was the responsible agent for the North American tour of famed illusionist David Copperfield.
I'm also a committed arts advocate and served as the Chair of the Arts and Institutions Committee for
Manhattan Community Board 2 (CB2) from 2015 to 2022.
I continue living the dream in Downtown Manhattan in a small apartment.
