Professional info
Having helped coin the phrase, "Edu-tainment" with professor and mentor Lee Shackleford (UAB Theatre Dept.), Kinnaird's life experiences and education led him to the discovery that information architects and thought leaders have a responsibility to work within our culture similar to the work of physicians. As media channels have multiplied in recent years and exposure to messages has increased, educational opportunities have risen through entertainment. For example; Kinnaird's experience with the writing team that won an award for the radio drama Body Love helped listeners in Alabama's Black Belt communities learn and discover solutions for health and social issues.
In recent years after moving to New York City in 2006, Glen has developed his passion for playwriting and theatrical production, focusing on exploring opportunities to help change the world for the better through the arts, design, and his writing.

Tony the Theatre Dog is a new children’s illustrated book series by Glen C. Kinnaird, a playwright, and author living in New York City with his dog, Tony. Our series begins with Kinnaird’s first book, “Puttin on a Show.” The inspiration for the books began after the author adopted an eight-week-old puppy in the fall of 2008 and named him Tony. Little did Kinnaird know, their life would soon be changed by fate, taking them on amazing adventures together.
In 2010, while taking a break from his work as an interior designer, Kinnaird and Tony joined a friend who took them on the journey of a well-known musical that was being re-invented for a new national tour. Together they experienced the behind the scenes world of theatre from an insiders perspective. Tony was a hit with the producers, creatives, cast a crew and one day during rehearsals took on the name, Tony the Theatre Dog. The name stuck and the rest is history.
Now, Tony is by his partner’s side in New York City, always ready to offer his Four Paw reviews on new shows or maybe lend a hand backstage offering his sage advice as a producing partner. This new book series will show children through illustrations and Tony's fictional world the ins and outs of live theatre, a behind-the-scenes look. Let Tony take you on a journey to discover new careers and the characters working in them that make live theatre happen. Readers both young and old will enjoy this whimsical journey and hopefully will follow the series as Tony takes us on more magical theatrical adventures.
