Hey there!

My name is Tony Harkin and I am a performer from a little town called New Milford in Connecticut. I started performing at a very young age, and even made it on the front page of my town newspaper when I was six for singing the National Anthem. I was actually singing "Old MacDonald" but that's a whole other story.

I got my first taste of fame at 12 years old, when I appeared on Jeopardy Kids Week, winning my episode. This aptitude for general knowledge has also led me to success in pub quizzes and on cruise ship trivia games, but it isn’t super useful elsewhere. However, I can tell you that the capital of Senegal is Dakar!

I attended Western Connecticut State University, graduated in May 2021 with a BFA in Musical Theatre and a BA in Theatre Arts Management. While there, I studied with industry professionals such as Elizabeth Parkinson, Scott Wise, Tim Howard, Philip George and Jeremy Powell. I’ve also pursued outside training, through programs such as Ryan Scott Oliver and Lindsay Mendez’s Actor Therapy and the UNCSA Broadway Commercial Dance Lab.

In my free time, you can most likely find me rewatching Paddington 2, which is the best film ever made. If I’m not doing that, I’m most often reading or writing. But I’m probably rewatching Paddington 2.
