{{Orphan|date=January 2016}}Anthony J. Garcia (1953), known as Tony Garcia, is a playwright and the current Executive Artistic Director of Su Teatro in Denver, Colorado.[1][2] He has written over 20 original plays and has served as Su Teatro's artistic director since 1989.[1]

Biography

Early life

Garcia grew up in Denver, Colorado and has mentioned that his family lost their home as a result of the construction on Denver's Auraria Campus in the late 1960s.[2]

Education

Garcia began attending the University of Colorado at Boulder in the fall of 1973 and dropped out in the spring of 1974.[3] He later graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver with a Bachelor of Arts in Theater.[1]

Garcia has since completed several fellowships, including the Rockefeller Fellowship in Theater arts in 2006,[4] the United States Artists Fellowship in 2006,[1] and the Livingston Fellowship from the Bonfils Stanton Foundation in 2011.[5]

Career

Garcia started out as a musician for Su Teatro while still a student in 1972.[6] He later took on roles as an actor[6] until 1989, when he became Su Teatro's Executive Artistic Director. Since writing his first play in 1986, Garcia has written plays consistently, finishing one every three to four years.[12]

Garcia spearheaded Su Teatro's fundraising campaign to raise $4.5 million for the theater's move to its new facility in the Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District in 2010.[13]

Garcia has also served as a faculty member for the National Association of Latino Art and CultureLeadership Institute.[7] He currently still does work as a peer trainer for the Colorado Creative Industries’ Peer Assistance Network, is a member of the Western States Arts Federation’s Board of Trustees, and is an adjunct professor at Metro State College in Denver.[7]
