In 2006, Anthony co-wrote and directed the world premiere of Primal Twang: The Legacy of the Guitar, a theatrical journey through the colorful and surprisingly controversial 3500-year history of the guitar, featuring electrifying live performances by world music legend, Dan Crary and an all-star ensemble of guitar greats, including Grammy-winners, Eric Johnson, Albert Lee, Andrew York, Mason Williams and Doc Watson. The production debuted to enthusiastic sold-out audiences at San Diego’s Birch North Park Theatre.  Anthony also directed the filming of the performances for commercial release.

After completing postproduction on the Primal Twang documentary, Anthony co-wrote and directed Love-In: A Musical Celebration, which premiered at San Diego’s Birch North Park Theatre in 2007. As with Primal Twang, he directed the filming of the performances for commercial release. Love-In, starring Tony Award-winner, Ben Vereen, is the second in a series of musical documentaries to be produced by Adams Entertainment.

Besides producing live theatre and musical documentaries, Anthony and Christina Adams are developing a slate of feature films to be produced by Adams Entertainment, including My Brother - My Enemy, A Killing Season and Nuevo Sol.
