Antonio Sacre

About Antonio

• Was cut from all of the sports that he tried as a kid, even bowling; fell into theater by default.
• Loved the communal aspect of theater; quickly became his favorite hobby.
• A professor advised him to go into another profession, didn't think he was good enough to be an actor.
• Moved to Chicago and started writing monologues about his family, modeled after actor John Leguizamo's stories.
• Loves writing, acting in his own stories, rather than waiting for someone else to write them and cast him.
• Started telling stories for children at schools during the day, told more mature stories at bars each night.
• For years, didn't have any support from his father, who thought Antonio was "wasting the sacrifices" he'd made for him.
• Won "Best in Fringe Festival," performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.; his father started to take him seriously.
