Anthony E. Gallo
Anthony Ernest (Tony) Gallo (born February 3, 1939) ((R) 21 ) is an American playwright. He has written over 60 dramatic works starting in 1997 and is currently filming his first motion picture which is based on one of his plays.
==Early life==
Tony Gallo was born on February 3, 1939, and raised in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania (also the title of one of his plays), a steel town 40 miles north of Pittsburgh, the son of an impoverished factory worker. His parents were Domenic and Saveria Raso Gallo. () His father suffered poor health, largely the result of his only other son’s death in a house fire in 1940. This tragedy was to have a major impact on Gallo's life, evident in most of his plays. Largely on the basis of scholarships and full-time work, Gallo graduated from both the College of William and Mary and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a Masters degree. He then went through a series of careers as a banker, college professor (), and well-published economist with the Federal government. (Link (EL) 10 ) He was also a pioneer in the renovation of historic homes in the Capitol Hill Historic District in Washington, DC. () His career as a playwright began in 1980 when, as a full fledged atheist, Gallo took a purely secular trip to Israel, had a religious epiphany and became “re-spiritualized.” From then on, he became deeply involved in Judea-Christian studies, as well as the study of other world religions. As he approached sixty, Gallo decided to go full-time into religion, and after much introspection, decided to make the theater his stage. () His decision was very much influenced by his good friend, Herbert Stein, President Richard Nixon’s Chief Economic Advisor, who felt economics as a field of study was not the end all, and that the next step was the study of philosophy or related disciplines. Upon retirement, Gallo turned his attention to playwrighting and has been a prolific playwright, dubbed the "Wharton School Playwright" by some of his peers, perhaps the only one in its history. In 2007, he married Susan Flaum Hesser, an information technology executive, and has one son from a previous marriage, Thomas Augustus Gallo.
