WVU Parkersburg to Host Tony Vincent for Live Master Class

Parkersburg, W.Va. (June 10, 2022) – Members of the Mid-Ohio Valley community have the chance to perform in front of and be mentored by Broadway star Tony Vincent during an in-person master class on Saturday, June 25, from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., in downtown Parkersburg. 

The Tony Vincent Live Master Class provides rising creative professionals exclusive access to advice, insight and training from a titan of the theatre industry. The master class allows attendees to hear the many ways to find their way in show business and Vincent’s unique journey and path to success as a creative.

From a young age, Vincent was exposed to the music of The Beatles, David Bowie, Depeche Mode and New Order. While attending university, Vincent recorded a five-song EP, which led to a recording contract with EMI records.

Vincent has produced six number one Billboard radio singles.

In 1998, Vincent took a detour into rock-based theater, joining the Broadway cast of “RENT.” He also starred in Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Jesus Christ Superstar,” Queen’s smash hit “We Will Rock You,” Green Day’s “American Idiot,” and was a finalist on NBC’s “The Voice.”

Today, Vincent continues to write and record, along with leading PCG Theatrical in Nashville, helping to develop young aspiring musical theater performers.

The master class with Vincent and PCG, is sponsored by the Arts Collaborative of the MOV and its member, the Parkersburg Actors Guild.
