Edit ProfileCareer
Publications The show received its world premiere at the Denver Center Company in 2014, starring Beth Malone and directed by Kathleen Marshall. In 2015 he was the Artistic Advisor for a new musical, Invisible Thread, at Second Stage, directed by Diane Paulus. Scanlan has been Human Immunodeficiency Virus-positive since 1983, and was diagnosed with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome in 1995.
He said: "I never want to imply that I lived because I have a stronger life drive than the people who died.
I"ve lost so many people who I knew to be passionate and committed to their lives." Scanlan emphatically credits his rebound to the anti-Human Immunodeficiency Virus drug cocktail, but says, "lieutenant is absolutely true that your outlook contributes to your longevity. I chose to keep investing in my future — even when I had no future.".
