Mark Steven Robinson (born April 28, 1964 in Santa Cruz, California) is an American stage director, actor and producer. He graduated with a degree in drama from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in 1986. In 1993, while working as a television actor in Los Angeles, Robinson began a three-year association with charitable fundraiser Pallotta TeamWorks; who hired him to direct and manage their new Boston-New York AIDSRide bike-a-thon, sponsored by Tanqueray. The proceeds from this event, which benefitted health services for people living with AIDS on the east coast, through programming at both the New York City LGBT Community Center and the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, totalled over $15 million dollars; resulting in the most successful AIDS fundraiser in history. He is a member of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers, and a founding member of the 's Artists' Action Committee. Robinson is the nephew of political mediator and the former Dean of the University of San Francisco School of Law Jay Folberg, theatre director Gerald Freedman, dance educator Mary Vinton Folberg, Academy Award-winning animator Will Vinton, and the grandson of Louis Folberg - a Vaudeville dancer who appeared on the Orpheum Circuit in the 1920's.
