Tony Tupin has lived in the Healdton and Lone Grove area all of his life. He has a 24 year old son named Hunter. Out of everything life has given him, his son is his greatest source of pride. He has worked at Michelin since 1998, and is gratefully still employed there, even after the devastating announcement of the Ardmore plant shut down. He has always wanted to be involved with the theater in some capacity. However, working rotating shifts for the last 25 years, he couldn’t commit to anything and give it his 100%. In 2023, Tony started a new job that was no longer rotating, but a set Monday to Friday work week. This gave him the opportunity to finally be involved with ALT in a way that he has always wanted to be. Since then, he has enjoyed every minute of what he has gotten to be involved in and gotten to learn! Tony worked in the fly loft for a few shows, helped build and paint set pieces, and helped with set changes while working backstage. Tony has been honored with the opportunity to perform on stage as well in a few shows, his first show being M*A*S*H. He would be honored and excited to serve on the ALT board and be a part of ALT’s future.
