Anthony Adu holds an MFA in Acting from UC San Diego. He was born and raised in Ghana. He has trained at Chautauqua Acting Conservatory and has worked at several regional theaters. He aims to create art that will elevate, inspire, and plant joy, laughter, hope, vulnerability, and resilience in young queer, African (Ghanaian) children so that in spite of the hardship, pain, and injustice that this world throws at them, they can dare to live a life beyond their wildest dreams. anthonyadu.com
