In 2021, AnthonyChase celebrates his 29th year as the host of “Theater Talk” on WBFO, providing commentary on theater in Western New York, Southern Ontario, and across the continent, and signing off each week with his familiar tag, “And I’m Anthony Chase.”  In recent decades, Chase has trod the boards as an actor only rarely, but notably as Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s THE IMPORTANCEOF BEING EARNEST at Buffalo State, and as savage theater critic, Ira Drew in BUA’s all-star production of Terrence McNally’s IT’S ONLY A PLAY.  By day, he serves as the Assistant Dean of Arts and Sciences at Buffalo State, where he teaches theater history and graduate level drama studies.
