Before devoting his time to writing, Tony Jerris was a New York actor who appeared in several plays and soap operas, including “All My Children” and “One Life To Live.” He later went on to write numerous plays, musicals and a trilogy of children’s books. After moving to Los Angeles, Tony produced his off-Broadway play TELL VERONICA! at The Hudson Theatre. It starred Charlene Tilton (of “Dallas” fame) in the title role, and costarred character Lin Shaye, who is best known for her roles in the Farrelly Brothers movies like “Something About Mary” & “Dumb & Dumber.” The LA TIMES raved, “Tony Jerris’ cult hit “Tell Veronica” managed to give broadcast burlesques a run for their money with a raucous send-up of Oprah, Sally Jessy and Ricki Lake rolled into one hot pink hot-flash of a show!” Tony also wrote a trilogy of children’s books, with the first in the series, The Littlest Spruce, being voted “Best New Children’s Book” at the North American Book Exchange. He turned the last book in the series, “The Littlest Witch,” into a children’s musical. It premiered in New York before playing at The Secret Rose Theatre in Los Angeles. It was recently picked up and published by Steele Spring Theatrical Licensing. Tony was also hired to write a series of iPad books called “Squeakers & Friends” that teaches kids how to ‘Go Green’ and save our environment. Tony has just completed writing the stop-motion musical feature “The Potters,” about a young girl’s unusual journey to find her birth parents. The movie is currently in development and being directed by award-winning director, Jennifer Clary. Tony is currently working on a new novel titled “Hearts In Ruins,” which centers on a recovering drug addict who is wrongly accused of killing his ex-girlfriend’s husband.
