About Ilyssa
Hello!
My name is Ilyssa Rubin (she/her)! I’m an actor/singer originally from Baltimore, Maryland. I attended the same private Jewish day school from preschool-12th grade, which is a major part of my upbringing. You will quickly discover my Jewish identity is very important to me!
When I’m not performing, you can find me in the kitchen baking gluten-free treats, curled up on the couch with a book (and a dog), crocheting, or playing on my Nintendo Switch! I am also a huge fan of all things Disney/Star Wars/Marvel, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and pretty much every reality TV show ever. The most important role I’ve ever played? Dog-Mom to my sweet boy, Boots! (pictured to the left). I am also an auto-immune disease warrior, battling Ulcerative Colitis since 2022. I am very passionate about making the world a more inclusive place for everyone :)
With love,
Ilyssa
