Lead Artist
Randy Reyes graduated from the University of Utah. He quickly expanded his skills with diverse training that ranged from the improvisational movement class "Viewpoints" to working with an Argentine puppet theater group to graduate training at the Juilliard School, giving him an incredibly broad set of approaches he brings to bear on any acting role. After Juilliard, he first appeared at the Guthrie in The School for Scandal and has returned for four productions of A Christmas Carol. In the realm of Shakespeare, Randy has appeared in the Guthrie's productions of The Comedy of Errors, Pericles, Hamlet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona, toured as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream and played Francis Flute in the Guthrie's most recent production. He will next be seen on the Guthrie stage in M. Butterfly. Randy's passion for theater education has found him partnering with some of the most innovative organizations in the Twin Cities, including Theater Mu and the Perpich Center for the Performing Arts.
