Show Notes

I met Toney Q. Cobb in the mid 1990's and immediately fell in love with not only the actor, but the man himself.  As Toney says, he came to this career later in life and feels very blessed to have met some wonderful mentors and friends.  His work with the African American Repertory Theatre Company under the tutelage of the late Ernie McClintock and Richmonder, Derome Scott Smith were the most influential in his career as far as his acting career.  Jazz acting technique is a very fluid type process that brings each actor to moments of truth by taking them to honest RE-actions and feeding off of each other.  It's not improve, it's more like a jazz riff as the actors create music together during the course of the show.  Enjoy!
