Anthony Francavilla
Co-Founder, Form Theatricals
Anthony Francavilla is spearheading a new method to develop theater productions and audiences through Form Theatricals, a consulting firm he co-founded in 2012 with Zachary Laks. Through Form Anthony focuses on enabling companies to rapidly and leanly iterate their work while validating the business assumptions that work is predicated upon. Using empirical tools originated from web-startups Form empowers its clients to discover how to grow in a sustainable and repeatable manner. His work on the forefront of artistic development and finance warranted Bloomberg News referring to him as an, “impresario.” As a producer Anthony’s productions have been lauded as, “nasty, weird and uncomfortably funny” (Oliver Parker, Time Out NY) and, “thoughtful and sensitive,” (When Last We Flew, Time Out NY). Over the course of his career Anthony has produced two New York Time’s Critic’s Picks and four TimeOut NY Critic’s Picks. In 2011, he was awarded a GLAAD Media Award for his production of When Last We Flew. Anthony is also the author of the Off-Broadway Alliance's Economic Impact Report. Prior to Form, Anthony spent one year as Assistant General Manager at Richard Frankel Productions and two years as Operations Manager of Atlantic Theater Company. He then attended Columbia University’s Theatre Management and Producing MFA Program where he was a Dean’s Fellow.
