Mr. Anthony Elliot

Tony Elliot (Associate Professor, Director of Dramatics) relocated his family in Lancaster and began his work at Millersville University in the Fall of 2002. Originally from Lancaster County, Professor Elliot holds a B.S. on Communication Education from Indiana University of PA and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Theatre Directing from the Catholic University of America, in Washington, D.C. Prior to coming back to Central Pennsylvania, he worked professionally as a performer and administrator for theatres in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. College teaching included experience at Montgomery College, MD, Penn State-York and ten years as the director of the theatre program at Penn State-Erie. At Millersville some of Professor Elliot’s favorite directing experiences have been ANTIGONE, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED), THE DIARY OF ANNE FRAND and THE GLASS MENAGERIE. In 2005 Mr. Elliot established an annual "10-Minute-Play Writing Competition" at Millersville and in 2004 he took his first group of students to London for a week long summer program called the "London Theatre Tour", which is organized every other June.

Professor Elliot encourages any Millersville student with an interest in theatre, whatever major, to become involved with our program. We are open to all. Contact him in Dutcher Hall.
