Autorenporträt
Gregory has spent most of his life in the performing arts, but considers himself a lifelong student of the arts. He has always combined the arts with education as an "unconventional method" to make learning fun, exciting, and memorable for students. He strongly believes that incorporating the arts into the curriculum represents the best way to "engage" and "revolutionize education" for today's youth. As a writer, his works are socially relevant and promotes literacy in addition to their entertainment value. His two character romantic comedy entitled, "Vagabond Love" is the epitome of "blind love;" in other words, love is love regardless of one's color, social status, or otherwise. From the audience's response, Vagabond Love is one of the most clever and funniest plays ever written, especially for a two character play. The educational and social value of this play is simply priceless. Vagabond Love was written with the idea that actor/comedian Bill Cosby and a comedic actress would someday perform it on Broadway and eventually broadcasted on Channel Thirteen (13), Public Broadcasting Station (PBS). Gregory walked away from acting in 1997 after his last performance as, "Reggie," in "Bronx House" at Black Spectrum Theatre and has not performed on stage, in film, television, or in public since. He is most remembered as a actor for his roles as "Bojack" in his outrageous comedy, "No Harm, No Four" and "Sunshine" in his drama, "A Piece Of My Dream." He has appeared in film, televison, and on radio. As an educator, he has a BA in Theatre, a MFA in Performing Arts Management, and holds several certifications in the performing arts as a teacher and administrator within the New York City and State Department of Education. He teaches writing, acting, directing, and ran his own professional acting workshop at Musical Theatre Works.
