Antonia Gentry’s story kicks off in Atlanta, but she bounced over to Augusta for a while, chasing that artsy vibe at Davidson Fine Arts. Her mom, Sandra—total creative, by the way—wrote Antonia’s first play. Imagine getting your start with your mom’s poetry on stage. Pretty wild. Anyway, Antonia caught the theater bug early and just kept rolling with it. By the time she was wrapping up high school, she’d already tackled a pile of plays, taking them all the way to regional, state, even national competitions. Not exactly your average teen drama club experience. She didn’t stay away from Atlanta for long, either. Antonia headed back for college, landing at Emory University (yeah, that one—super competitive). There, she didn’t just hit the books. She racked up some serious commercial gigs and even scored Netflix credits before tossing her cap in 2019. Not too shabby. On top of classes, she was running the show with Emory’s Rathskellar Comedy Improv troupe, and also sharing the stage with actual Atlanta theater pros. She wasn’t just any Juliet, she *was* Juliet—plus roles in The Tempest and a bunch more. Movies? She’s obsessed with Pan’s Labyrinth and The Pianist—literally changed her life. And she’s got big dreams for what comes next, now that college is in the rearview. When she’s not acting, she’s jamming on the piano, belting out tunes, doting on her cat Buttersworth, or picking up new languages just for fun.
Turns out, she’s got a pretty interesting background—her mom’s Black and hails from Jamaica, and her dad’s white. That mix? It kind of shapes a lot about who she is and how she moves through the world. People always love to put others in boxes, but honestly, there’s no neat category for her. Some days, she feels like she’s juggling two totally different universes. Holidays get wild—think jerk chicken one day, mashed potatoes the next. She grew up hearing reggae blasting in the kitchen and classic rock in the living room. Sometimes it’s cool, sometimes it’s confusing, and sometimes she’s just tired of people asking, “So, what are you?” But hey, her heritage gives her a foot in two worlds and a whole lotta stories to tell. That’s gotta count for something, right?
