Joseph Antonio (he/him) is an actor, dancer, and instructor originally from California’s Central Coast. Joseph trained at the Pacific Conservatory Theatre (PCPA) and completed an artistic residency at Milwaukee Repertory Theater during their 24/25 season. Joseph is also the host of ‘Someone You Love’, a podcast dedicated to uplifting artists and creatives based in Chicago. Joseph loves to teach and grow alongside other artists, and believes everyone deserves a classroom environment that welcomes all identities, backgrounds and expressions.

Joseph completed the Green Shirt teacher training program early 2025 alongside Artistic Director Jack Shultz and has been actively engaging with students ever since. Joseph is the newest host of “Let’s Read a Play,” a Green Shirt event that brings the community together to read published plays. He’s also frequently performing in Chicago, and could be seen most recently in the World Premier of The Curious Circumstances of Louis Le Prince at the Factory Theater.

While he claims to hate trivia, Joseph would absolutely crush Drag Race trivia — he’s seen the show more times than he’s willing to admit. He loves warm days, windy nights, vampires, and anything with a good hit of citric acid. Joseph is always searching for new ways to express himself and his art, and is constantly inspired by the work of emerging artists. At his core, he hopes theatre and art continue to be shared with light, joy, and a little bit of mischief.
