One line

Intact: One Woman’s Search for Home is Robin Colucci’s award-winning musical comedy cabaret about her lifelong attempt to build an “intact home” and the freedom she found discovering that wholeness can look entirely different.

Short synopsis

When Robin Colucci’s second-grade teacher told her she might be better at math if she came from an “intact home” instead of one her parents had broken when she was two, she began to think, Broken. Broken? Maybe her home was broken.

Intact follows Robin’s fifty-year attempt to build the “intact” home she believed everyone else had. Through candid storytelling and original songs, she revisits family, relationships, regret, reinvention, and the choices that shaped her life and discovers that her definition of being intact might not look exactly like she thought it would.

Full description

When Robin Colucci’s second-grade teacher told her she might be better at math if she had an “intact home” instead of one her parents had “broken,” she was two, she began to think. “Broken.” “Broken?” Maybe her home WAS broken. She came home every day to an empty apartment; she ferociously missed her father, and she wasn’t exactly thrilled with her mother, despite knowing she was working three jobs and plowing through grad school, all to make Robin’s life better. Maybe that teacher was right. Robin’s home was broken.

“Intact” is the story of one woman’s 50-year quest to build an intact home, one like all her friends seemed to have—with a mother, a father, and a house the people inside owned.

Through personal storytelling and original songs, Robin revisits her parents’ marriages and divorces, several defining relationships of her own, and the decisions she spent years trying to forgive.

What begins as a search for an intact home becomes something else entirely: a funny, candid examination of responsibility, self-worth, reinvention, and the possibility that being “intact” might not require the ending you once imagined.

Short bio

Robin Colucci is an author, writer, producer, and performer whose award-winning solo show, Intact: One Woman's Search for Home, won Best Original Music at the 2025 United Solo Festival — marking her return to the stage after a decade away from solo work. Her performance roots run deep: cast member of a professional improv comedy troupe, professional lead roles in everything from Shakespeare to award-winning original plays, dipping into stand-up in the mid-2010s, and a five-year stint as lead singer of a Connecticut Shoreline-based blues-rock cover band named, "Maybe Next Week." By day, Robin runs World Changing Books, helping thought leaders write books that get traditionally published. On stage or on paper, Robin's in the business of turning experience into art.

Full bio

Robin Colucci is an author, writer, producer, and performer whose award-winning solo show, Intact: One Woman's Search for Home, won Best Original Music at United Solo's 19th Season's Awards. The show marked Robin's return to solo work after roughly a decade away.

Robin's performance roots run deep. She's performed musical theater during her school days including: Mabel in Pirates of Penzance, Nancy in Oliver! and Maria in The Sound of Music. She also has landed professional lead roles in straight plays, including Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Myrtle Mae in Harvey, and Lala — girlfriend to the title character — in Ooma's Ladder, the two-person original play that won the 1992 Rocky Mountain Playwrights Festival.

In Denver, she sharpened her comedic instincts as a member of Head Games, a professional improv troupe that performed throughout Denver and Boulder, and studied acting in a summer intensive at the National Theater Conservatory. She also did commercial and voiceover work, including an ongoing regional campaign for Shane Company Jewelry in the early 1990s.

Then life took a turn. Robin set her acting ambitions aside to help build her then-husband's personal fitness training business. For years, she thought her performing life was over. Until 2014, when she caught the bug again, and dipped a toe into stand-up comedy.

A move to Connecticut in 2016 reignited her connection to music and eventually became the lead singer of a local band formed during COVID called "Maybe Next Week." Named for its ever-shifting rehearsal schedule, the band played at various venues along the Connecticut shoreline for about five years. That creative spark eventually led to a wilder idea: writing a one-woman show about growing up as a Gen X woman from a "broken" home. The result was Intact: One Woman's Search for Home, which premiered at New York City's United Solo Festival in March 2025 and returned twice by popular demand, including an encore at Theatre Row in November 2025.

Robin's life tells a parallel story: after leaving her marriage, Robin returned to publishing — a field she'd pursued upon completing her undergraduate journalism degree at George Washington University in 1986 — and drawing on her early experiences in journalism and publishing, plus her experience building and scaling a fitness business, and an MA in Spiritual Psychology she earned in 2003, Robin went on to found World Changing Books. She now helps thought leaders write books that get traditionally published. As she's said of the connection between the two callings, writing and performing Intact has made her a sharper storyteller in every part of her work — bolder, more economical, and more willing to portray her own vulnerability.

Robin has launched two grown children and lives near the beach on the Connecticut shoreline with her two pugs, where she continues to perform, write, and coach. And, best of all, she hosts her family each year for summer beach week, a full family fall reunion, and various holiday meals — proof that one can come from a "broken" home and still create "intact."
