   About The Artist formerly known as Collins



About TOM COLLINS: This Alphabet City Renowned Computer Genius/Revolutionist (Thomas B. Collins) has just returned from a not-so-pleasant semester at MIT. His theory of Actual Reality has been rejected by the board and now his crusade to raise world awareness about such plights as homelessness and HIV/AIDS is taking the Lower East Side by storm.

Now finding himself the victim of a Christmas Eve mugging, a distraught yet aware Collins is heard wailing and saved by good samaritan, Angel Dumott Schunard. Angel volunteers his services of healing and mercurocrome to the ailing Professor and the two go to Life Support, a group of friends lending support and understanding of HIV/AIDS.

Join Collins, Angel, and the rest of the Alphabet City Avant Garde in the timeless story of Love and the Pursuit of Understanding of RENT.

About AFR: Anwar is thrilled to be making his stage debut as a part of such an amazing and important story as RENT. American audiences will forever recall Anwar F. Robinson as the Music Teacher who was rocketed to television stardom on Season 4 of the pop-culture phenomenon American Idol. His vocal range quickly landed him a coveted spot in Idol’s Top-10, where Judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul touted him as “technically the best singer of the competition”. After Idol he toured the country as part of the Idols Live show and then he began work on his solo album. Since then, this New Jersey native has worked and appeared with a number of music icons that include Clive Davis, Patti Labelle, Kelly Price, Byron Cage, and Pastor Donnie McClurkin. With his newly completed album entitled The Truth About Love under his belt (shipping FALL 2007), this Soul artist-turned-actor looks now to a future that includes singing, acting and loving life! Anwar Thanks his family, friends, mentors, and community for their unwavering support and faith in what God has bestowed upon him. Fans can follow his journey on THIS MYSPACE PAGE!!!!!

Hi Anwar,
Well, the touring production of RENT will soon be over. Before this page disappears I just want you to know how much I enjoyed all 5 of the wonderful performances I saw! You were fabulous each and every one. It was great seeing and visiting with you in Milwaukee and Madison, Wis. and in Loveland, Colorado. I am so going to miss you, you have a special place in my heart. Please keep us updated on further projects and appearences, OK? If it's meant to be I will see you again, just don't ever forget your little fellow servant here in Colorado!!!

Love,
Karla Bass

I pray that the tour goes well for you Anwar. I hope that I will get to see you but I'm afraid that I'm in Texas and I know you all have already been here. I'm glad that you are doing so much better after your medical leave.
