Rora Brodwin is a NYC-based actor (NY/LA local hire), originally hailing from the foggy hills of San Francisco. You may have seen Rora on Hacks (HBO) or heard Rora in She Came to Me (featuring Anne Hathaway and Peter Dinklage).

 

A graduate of NYU's MFA Acting program, Rora performed as the lead of The Fez at The Flea Theater, premiered their one-person show Bunny at Dixon Place, and debuted their comedy show Best Of at UCB. Other NYC acting credits include: A Modest Proposal (Cherry Lane Theater), Gather 'Round (Dixon Place), and  Ros/Guil are Dead (The Brick).

 

At Yale University (BA), Rora received the Yale Trumbull College Fine Arts Award for their original one-person show Bunny, Godmother of Title IX. An incredible true story, Dr. Bernice “Bunny” Sandler filed the lawsuit that turned into Title IX and made sex discrimination illegal in higher education. Bunny found power where there was none, institutionalized it, and left it behind. 

​

Rora's screenplay adaptation of Bunny, Godmother of Title IX was a finalist for the Fusion Film Festival Graduate Screenplay Award. Rora's original one act Pulses, Places, and Things premiered at NYU Graduate Acting's Freeplay Festival.

​

Rora is an avid pole dancer, a Star Trek geek, was on the Yale Pistol Team, and will eat a whole jar of olives before you can blink.
