REED MARTIN (Writer/Director/Performer) Merrimack Repertory Theatre: Completely Hollywood (abridged), The Complete History of America (abridged), The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged). Reed Martin is a graduate of UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, The Bill Kinnamon School of Professional Umpire Training, and Clown College. He has performed in forty-six states and eleven foreign countries, including New Jersey. Prior to joining the RSC in 1989, he was a clown with Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey Circus where he spent two years frightening children and smelling of elephants. He lives in Northern California with his wife and two sons, all three of whom are much funnier than he is. Reed feels strongly that toilet paper should be fed over the top of the roll.

MATT RIPPY (Actor/Director/Webmaster) Merrimack Repertory Theatre: debut. Matt ran away with the Reduced Shakespeare Company back in 1996. Rippy (he goes by Rippy) has appeared onstage with the Reduced in the West End and (near) Broadway as well as various tours in the US, UK, Middle East, Far East, and Jersey. He also did a stint in the UK press office, where he handled PR and made terrible cups of tea. Rippy acts as the Reduced webmaster and from time to time he acts as a director. Sometimes he even acts like a real actor in movies: he recently acted like a bad guy in Day of the Dead, like a good guy in Boogeyman 3, and like a normal guy in The Dark Knight. Rippy knows one day he must act like a grown up, until then he'll just keep hangin' out with the Reduced Shakespeare Company. See more and learn less at http://www.mattrippy.com/

Now living in Los Angeles with Dee and their two kids, Austin bats right and votes left. |
