 Anthony Mead
Tom’s Mom, Man 2, CHer
Anthony Mead's Resume
Anthony is ecstatic for his maiden voyage with Edible Brains. He likes fuzzy little ducks, old pick-up trucks, slow moving trains and green grass. Among studies, the proudest is his Two-Year Meisner Stint with Maggie Flanigan. When he isn't hammered and hogging attention at fund raisers he can be seen on New York City Stages Theatricalizing. He is revered for his work on Broadway in the title role of "Annie". His most memorable film performance was met by much critical acclaim as Will in Gus Van Sant's "Good Will Hunting", though he looked like Matt Damon and received little to no credit. Miramax continues to decline comment!

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION: GOING GREEN
In an effort to be aware of our effect on the environment, EdibleBrains Productions has taken great care in applying a "green" mentality to this production. The three principles of being green are "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" and we have taken each of these to heart. We chose to have a minimalist set because it not only helped represent the play, but also allowed us to reuse already shared set pieces available to all festivity participants. For our costumes, we borrowed or reused our own clothing before purchasing new items. Props were borrowed from other theater companies, or made with materials found within our own homes. We used recycled paper whenever possible, even during rehearsals. We leveraged online social networks to promote our play towards the goal of reducing our marketing materials. We have also included an online program available exclusively through our website so that audience members may have the option of returning their programs for reuse, while not missing out on important cast and crew information. We hope as we continue to produce thought provoking productions, we will also continue to evaluate and apply our desire to become more green. We realize there is more to be done, but we also know that every little bit helps to decrease our carbon footprint.
