Anthony is very psyched
to have his play ENTR’ACTE performed in the Winter festival 2020.

Bad Boy. This piece was presented at the Duplex Cabaret, The Wings Theater,
as well as The Producers Club in NYC. His work has been presented at The
Strawberry One Act festival several years, The Thespis Theater festival,
Manhattan Rep, as well as the Bad Theater festival in NYC. He won best director
award for his one act comedy Arch Enemies at the Take Ten Short play
festival in April 2019. He also won best director for his one act drama Rush
Hour Madness, at the Strawberry One Act festival in 2013. His play Fixation
made the top 4 best plays in 2015 at the SOAF and was a finalist several times.
