ABOUT ME
Toni Ann Barretta
A Senior BA Theatre Arts major with an Acting focus and English minor, at Fredonia State University, pursuing an acting career. I have backgrounds in dance, gymnastics, and makeup. I do all my own stunts. I have had 13 years of training in dance and gymnastics. In my free time I enjoy creating unique makeup looks and dancing to any 90's hip hop. I love working and being outside. I have been apart of two major dance ensembles, including CHICAGO and West Side Story. I was apart of the NYSSSA School of Theatre class of 2016. I enjoy writing, photography, and modeling as well. I love making people laugh and am always looking on the positive side of any situation. You can find me in the studio creating choreography to my favorite tunes.
