Hello Summer! Phew! It's a hot one out there, and that only means one
thing....I need to bring a spare T-Shirt around with me everywear I go
to avoid the sweating through them both! (Anyone who has costumed me
before knows what I'm talking about)
As for updates, I'm currently playing with the National Comedy Theatre
in Manhattan. They're a GREAT competitive Improv group that has theatres
in NYC, California and Arizona.

Larry Crowne is a cute film, but not sure why it needed to be made.
Arcadia was boring, but Raul Esparza continues to impress. Catch Me if
You Can was wonderul. Norbert Leo Butz is a force to be reckoned with
(and also an alumnist of the MFA/PAT program of Alabama Shakespeare).

It's been a couple of months since my last update, and I apologize about
that cyberspace. I've been busy, which is a good thing.
First of all, Cactus Flower closed it's Off-Broadway revival on April
24th, 2011 -
Cactus Flower to Close Off-Broadway - It was truly a
blessing to work with some of the most amazingly talented people ever on
this project. I will always hold a special place in my heart for my
experience with Abe Burrows's comedy.
Next, we filmed and released even more episodes of EvenFlo's The Savvy
Parents Guide - Episodes 8, 9, 10, 11 are found

I've recently been honored with a place in the company of the National
Comedy Theatre. We began Boot Camp at the beginning of May, and I begin
my official rehearsals with the company this Wednesday. For information
on the shows or bookings, check out their website -
National Comedy
Theatre
And lastly, I just completed a wonderful workshop of Raymond Todd's new
pieces, Dear, Whoever is Listening at the Payan Theatre, 43rd and 8th
in NYC. Great Short Play Lab for emerging and established playwrights
looking to workshop their pieces. Details on the Producer's are found
HERE
Glad that the weather is getting better here in the Big Apple. Saw a
wonderful performance of King Lear by Derek Jacobi on Friday. Beth
Leavel is the only reason to see Baby, it's You, and Bridesmaids is
one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
Much Love and God Bless y'all - Anthony

December 3rd, 2007
Hello again! I bet you thought "Anthony has this fancy new website, and
hasn't touched it since July!" Well, you are correct, I apologize, but
my thoughts and actions have been knee deep in William Shakespeare's
tragedy Macbeth which just closed a 7+ week tour of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey presented by the WillPower Tour at the Pennsylvania
Shakespeare Festival. Photos coming soon!
The show went off wonderfully, and we successfully reached 15,000+
students, aged from 5th grade to 12th as well as many rural communities
that some haven't ever read or seen a Shakespeare play. The reviews were
amazing, and the students were equally as wonderful.
Along with playing King Duncan, the Porter, the Macduff family murderer,
and a bumbling soldier known as Seyton, I also, with the fellow cast of
eight, taught workshops in Shakespeare's Language, Stage Combat, and
Character Improvisation. All in all, it was an amazing experience and
the cast was truly phenomenal. I look forward to working with such a
wonderful company again soon.
In other news, I'm excited to announce my new agents at Schiowitz,
Conner, Ankrum and Wolf and look forward to more updates in that area
very soon.
I'll be in Colorado from November. 20-26th, to finally get to spend some
time with my Family and will return to the Big Apple to hit the
entertainment pavement once again
July 28, 2007
Anthony has officially settled into the Big Apple once again and after a
very successful showcase with the MFA Graduating Class of 2007 from the
Alabama Shakespeare Festival, Anthony will next be seen in the
Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival's WillPower tour of Macbeth playing,
among other characters, King Duncan and the Porter from September to
November 2007! More details to follow check out
http://www.pashakespeare.org/will.html for more details!
He graduated with his MFA from the Alabama Shakespeare
Festival/University of Alabama on July 7th. Just prior to that at the
Festival, Anthony finished a sold out run of Christopher Marlowe's
Doctor Faustus playing a wide variety of characters (including a
Scholar, a Bishop, and the Sin of Lechery, that's right, Lechery.) And
just before Faustus went up, he completed a Five Month run playing a
whole host of characters in John Barton's trilogy The Wars of the Roses,
a conglomeration of Shakespeare's Henry VI, Parts 1, 2, 3 and
Richard
III.
He can't wait to see you all in New York and gives a big thanks, a big hug and a big high five (he's working for the gradual reinstatement of the high five) to all of his wonderful family and friends in Alabama and his home, Colorado.
