He tells our Marcy Rinehart how he got into theater starting in 1999. He has also been in 50 productions including Orange Barrel starting in 2007 as well as other MTV Arts productions including Beauty and the Beast.
Tony explains how he has been preparing for both roles including using some of his real-life experiences into the characters.
He says that he likes both characters because they both want to help Sara.
He also explains what he will be wearing in the production as both characters.
He adds that both characters are portrayed a little differently than other similar productions.
He also explains how vital wardrobe can be to not only the audience but the actor or actress who need to get into character.
Tony gives some insight into the back story of the play. He says that Sara was a little princess growing up then faces some adversity and drops to a lower level of society.
Tony says that it has been interesting seeing the different castes that were a part of society at the time the play is set.
He says that his favorite memory in this show (and most shows) that the cast effectively becomes a family. He says it has been a treat to see the young cast members grow personally.
He says people should come see the Little Princess because at its core it is a story about making the most out of a bad situation with a positive attitude.
