Hello everyone --

Some of you may already know this, but I'm very proud to announce that the official World Premiere of my one man show based on my book will be taking place in Pittsburgh. I just arrived into town a couple of days ago and I'm furiously rewriting and working on new material (including at least two new songs). So far it's exciting and scary...

The show is taking place at City Theatre (where I was Hedwig a few years ago, and is sort of an artistic home-away-from-home), and runs from August 28th to September 21st. For more information on scheduling and tickets, go to citytheatrecompany.org, or call 412-431-CITY. The theatre has very good pricing policies for students and for people under 30, so be sure to check those out as well.

The hope is that after getting in a run of the show here, we'll learn a lot about how best to move forward with it, and after the Rent tour is over next year, I'll get to do it in more places, with a run hopefully happening in New York at some point. We'll see...

Thanks as always for all of your support.

Take care --

Anthony

Wow, thats great to hear! I have some family members who live just outside of Pittsburgh so I might just be able to make it. Congratulations, I hope everything goes well. It was such a fantastic book, I'm sure the show will be amazing. Again, congrats.

The best of luck...I truly hope you will see other locales- as PA is hard for me to get to- but with the material- it is sure tempting to try! And all the best with the REnt tour- we will be seeing you on the road!! With love, M

Ah, I was hoping you'd come to Boston like you said in March, Pittsburgh is too far away. Ah, well, there's always the future, right? Haha.
Good for you. I really hope I can see this somehow (and mayyybe closer to Western Mass...;) haha). Your book was really good - I couldn't put it down! I hope I can see the show in the future sometime.

Congratulations! I can't wait for all the kinks to be worked out. Maybe you can bring the show close to Syracuse, NY so I can come see it, unless I am in NY at the time you run your show. Congratulations again and break a leg.

Congratulations, Anthony! Your book is one of my favorites. I identified with it so much. It was really poignant and moving...I cried through the whole thing. I'm so happy you're getting the opportunity to bring it to the stage. I wish I lived closer to Pittsburgh! :( I wish you the best of luck!

Wish I could be there! Any chance of you bringing the show down to Florida at some point (Jacksonville would be amazing...hint hint wink wink)? I'm very excited to see you and Adam in Philly for RENT in February, though. I'm flying up there to see it with a few friends.

Bugger the fact that nothing ever comes to New Mexico. :(

Congratulations! I want to be a writer, and your book was absolutely amazing. The writing was honest and beautiful and introspective. So good luck with your show; I hope I'll get to see it someday! It's sure to be fantastic, like everything you do.

Cheers. :)

If you came to Phoenix, I would so be there. I can't travel much, 'cause money is tight and I'm working my ass off to finish High School and pass my college courses at the same time, but if you have a show here in Arizona nothing but an earthquake, tornado or act of god would stop me from showing up. Might have to dip into my savings a bit, but what can you do.

If you never make it out here for your show I'll still be going to the 2009 tour of RENT that's coming to Tempe. See ya' there!

Oh, Anthony, that is fantastic! I'm so happy that things are going well for you. I really wish that I could see it now, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe you'll end up somewhere around Ohio sometime! I really can't wait to see you and Adam in the RENT tour. I'm psyched. You're awesome :)

Rent tour excites me every time it is mentioned. This show you're doing now sounds fun too. Hopefully New York happens. Have fun with it wherever it may take you =)
