About Me!
My name is Grayson Lyle Reed
and I am a new age theater maker. I thrive when working in all aspects of the theater, I can never just settle for one field. I hunger to be backstage and in the booth just as much as I do to be onstage in the lights. To me, good theater is the perfect collaboration of the right people for the job, so I strive to enhance my skills in all areas so that I can fit any need or situation I find myself in.
I am particularly drawn to new and overlooked work. I enjoy producing and uplifting new stories and voices in the current theater landscape.
I have an affinity to all things dark, creepy, weird or nerdy. I love work that challenges me, as well as challenges the audience. I'm working to blaze a new trail into unknown lands in the theater world, with a focus on realism, absurdism, horror theater, and immersive theater and productions.
I also deeply care and dedicate myself to youth arts education. I wouldn't be where I am today without youth theater programming, so I try to give myself back to that work whenever I can. Working with Youth Theater reminds of the joy and fun that theater holds that inspired me to take the path I did, a choice I'll never regret.
