Anthony 'Toni' Gary

    Currently working  as the Assistant Wardrobe Supervisor and Wig Supervisor for Maine State Music Theatre wardrobe in Brunswick ME for their 2022 season. Nevertheless, this does not mean that I am no longer looking for freelance design opportunities in the meantime.

    Like a chameleon, I have worked in different positions to gain a well-rounded knowledge as a theater practitioner and to be a better employee, teacher and colleague. Recently, worked as a stitcher and wardrobe assistant at the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival and was the Lead Crafts Artisan at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival.  MFA graduate from the University of Southern Mississippi's MFA Costume Design and Technology program, where I was also teaching courses in Stage Makeup. As a Graduate Assistant in USM's Costume Shop, I serve as a Draper, Crafts Artisan, and First-Hand for mainstage productions and as a Costume and Makeup Designer. While working on productions, I would teach and help expand the knowledge of makeup/costume design and technology to practicum students in the shop. I earned a B.G.S. in Theatre Arts and minors in Sociology and Spanish from Southeastern Louisiana University.  As a Louisiana native and growing up near New Orleans, I was surround by various culture, art, and music which has had a major influence in my life.  

   Throughout the course of my career, I've designed and worked on over 50 productions. Ranging from straight plays, children theatre, touring shows, repertory theater, musicals, and operas. 

​

   Currently based in Louisiana but willing to travel for job opportunities.

This website displays examples of my work from both professional and educational productions, commissions and internships.
