“Tony positively quivers with energy and drive — stillness and dynamism”

Tony Aidan Vo is a first-generation Vietnamese American, multi-hyphenate actor, Drama Desk Nominated musician, and singer-songwriter based in Denver, CO.
Tony has performed around the country on stage and television. His select theater credits include Atlantic Theater Company, The Alley Theatre, Two River Theater, New York Stage & Film, Baltimore Center Stage, Naked Angels, Pan Asian Repertory, The Bushwick Starr, Local Theater Company, The Colorado Shakespeare Festival, and The Hangar Theater. In new play development and select workshops, Tony has worked with New York Theater Workshop, The Lincoln Center, Ogunquit Playhouse, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, New Dramatists, Ensemble Studio Theater, Ma-Yi Theater, Soho Rep, The Lark, Prospect Theater, Cape Cod Theater Project, and Naked Angels. His television credits include QUEEN SUGAR (OWN), INSTINCT (CBS), and TEENAGE BOUNTY HUNTERS (Netflix). Tony studied theater at Ithaca College and the National Theater Institute at The Eugene O’Neill Center.
A large part of his creative outlet while he was in NYC was being a founding member and musician of the folk band/theater collective, The Lobbyists. Within the group, Tony wrote music, sang, and was a multi-instrumentalist where he played drums, percussion, and guitar. The Lobbyists performed at some of NYC’s hottest venues including Joe’s Pub, 54 Below, Mercury Lounge, Ars Nova, The Bitter End, and Rockwood Music Hall. Alongside his bandmates, The Lobbyists were nominated for a 2016 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music in a Musical, SeaWife. SeaWife was developed in collaboration with Seth Moore, Liz Carlson, and had its world premiere Off-Broadway with Naked Angels in partnership with the South St. Seaport Museum, in the summer of 2015. SeaWife had its regional theater premiere in Nantucket, MA in the summer of 2017 with White Heron Theater Company. In 2019, the team brought SeaWife to be presented at the National Alliance of Musical Theater.
Tony is also a tech enthusiast, passionate about the intersection of technology and the arts. He has helped build websites for 50+ clients, including artists, businesses, and non-profits. He studied Advanced FullStack Software Engineering at HackReactor and graduated in 2023.
After spending over 10 years as a professional actor, Tony noticed a lack of technology geared towards helping performers navigate their audition lives. Tony and his business partner Ned Donovan launched a start-up company called Audition.Cat, an audition log and analytics tool for the auditioning actor. They are actively building the public beta with a goal of a 2024 release.
