What people have had to say about Si La Gente Quieren Comer Carne Que La Damos Carne A Comer:  If the People Want To Eat Meat, Let Them Eat Meat, The Remarkable Story Of My Brother....
 
 
"Antonio Sacre's exquisite one-man show...one of the most skillful and satisfying performances of the year."
 
"Sacre is observant, unafraid of his audience.  He is not a character actor nor a comedian but someone with a perpetual story and an extraordinary talent for engaging an audience.  Therefore, he is frankly funny, uncompromisingly believable, and above all -- kind."
--Backstage
 
"Antonio Sacre is the best kind of storyteller, drawing you into his world with such subtlety that you hardly notice what he is doing -- until the story ends and you find yourself longing for just one more anecdote, one more voice."
--Chicago Reader
 
And About In And Out Of Trouble...winner of a 1999 Best in Fringe Festival Award for Excellence in Solo Performance
 
"A remarkable artist."
--The Village Voice
 
"For someone who's made a career out of cute, well-crafted tales of family life, In and Out  is a daring move, challenging conventional sexual mores without resorting to titillation or explotation."
--Chicago Reader
 
 
 
 

And About Eleven Dollar Prophet...
 
"He morphs visually before our eyes into a post modern Jesus, but don't be surprised if you don't even notice his physical transformation right away because he is such a captivating speaker.  From the moment he opens his mouth until he closes the show you cannot look away for a minute; he is irresistable."
 
"Powerful, hilariously honest...the man is out and out genius."
--Backstage
 
"Critic's Choice"
--Chicago Reader
 
And About Up To The Sky...
 
"With an easygoing grin, Antonio Sacre does in the first few minutes of his solo show what many performers can't do in an hour: he makes his audience his allies."
 
"With this original solo piece, his 11th, Sacre shows what years of practice can do.  In both his writing and acting he has a lightness that is hard to come by."
--Back Stage West
 
AND ABOUT BROWN AND BLACK AND WHITE ALL OVER...
 
"'Brown and Black' provokes, disturbes and provides considerable food for thought"
 
"'Brown and Black,'developed with and directed by Jenny Magnus, is a tense, taut, revelatory monologue based on a week-long men's retreat Sacre attended in Mendocino County with 40 inner city youths - black, brown and white - and 40 older men."
--San Francisco Examiner
 
"Sacre has come not to mock but to praise.  And his sincere, urgent account - chronicling the whole weekend, angry confrontations, therapy breakthroughs, and all - is surprisingly moving, in part because Sacre, revealing his gifts as a mimic, takes a backseat to his characters: black, white and Hispanic teenagers and their equally diverse adult mentors."
