An Interview Tim ReaganJacqueline Lawton: What type of artist are you?
Tim Reagan: I am a theatre educator and director. I also dabble in music and visual art.
JL: Where were you born? How did you end up where you are now?
TR: I was born and raised in the one traffic light town of Marcellus, NY - a small suburb of Syracuse. I moved to DC to attend graduate school, where I met my wife, Lisa Agogliati. After working in non-profit arts and theatre management, I returned to my calling as a teaching artist as the director of the Middle School Drama Program at Sidwell Friends School, where I have been since 1995.
JL: Who are your heroes?
TR: My heroes are stroke survivors, and people who work with young children and people with disabilities.
JL: What is your favorite quote?
TR: "Just keep swimming." Dori's mantra from Finding Nemo.
JL: Why did you want to be a part of intersections?
TR: The fact that someone is interested in what today's youth have to say is important. Vertical Voices Playback Theatre is a forum for audiences to learn about themselves and their community. I look forward to seeing what kind of community will be formed by those attending the festival.
JL: How do you feel your performance fits into the festival?
TR: The company members of Vertical Voices Playback Theatre capture the essence of someone's personal story quickly and concisely. Despite their age, these company members have the knack to accurately reflect the feelings of young children to older adults - a nice meeting place, or intersection, for folks to learn about one another.
