Robert Post
Two major influences sparked Post’s child hood desire to go into show business: the sight of his Italian grandmother, Assunta DiMenna, spontaneously dancing and singing at any family occasion (including funerals), and the classic vaudeville, juggling, and specialty acts featured on The Ed Sullivan Show.
In 1978, in an obsessive quest to find a teacher who could help him blend his love of character work with the magical techniques of the movement arts, Post traveled to the woods of Maine to take a workshop with the visionary theater artist Tony Montanaro. This began the foundation of Post’s unique creative style and his longtime artistic collaboration with Tony.
Post has created over thirty works for which he has received numerous awards and fellowships from such organizations as the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council for the Arts, and the Ohio Arts Council. PBS produced a documentation of his stage performance that was shown internationally, winning the Central Education Network Award for Best Performance Program. Post is also an alumnus of the Affiliate Artists program and has toured his one-man performance to forty-six US states, Canada, Mexico, Russia, the Mediterranean, and Japan.
Post Comedy Theatre was presented by Broadway’s New Victory Theater to rave reviews and sold-out houses. In addition to his touring, Post has helped direct various productions, productions, including Cinderella, Coppelia, and The Nutcracker for BalletMet Columbus, as well as theater productions of Noises Off and Urinetown. He also serves as an adjunct professor in theater at the Ohio State University.
