Stephen Reed has appeared on Broadway in six different musicals including Once Upon A Mattress with Sarah Jessica Parker, How to Succeed in Business... with Matthew Broderick, Crazy For You, Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, 110 in the Shade, and CATS - twice (once starring as the wild rock-n- roller Rum-Tug-Tugger). He's traveled across America, Europe, and Japan in Tony award-winning productions of Ragtime, Crazy For You, 42nd Street, A Chorus Line, Evita, Annie Get Your Gun, and Kiss Me Kate. He has worked with recording artists Prince, Gloria Estefan, Peter Frampton, and Steve Winwood, and as dance supervisor for stage legend Liza Minnelli on her Broadway Tour of Minnelli On Minnelli. As a concert dancer Stephen performed with Gus Giordano’s Jazz Dance Chicago and as a demi-soloist with the Milwaukee Ballet. And he can always be seen tap dancing on top a tin roof shed in PBS Great Performance Presents: Crazy For You!

In addition to performing, Stephen is a proud member of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographer. He has been resident choreographer and guest Director for Tri-Arts Theater in upstate New York for a number of seasons, and directs and choreographs professional musical theater around the United States. Most recently Stephen was re-created Jerome Robbins' West Side Story for the Boston Conservatory of the Arts 50th Anniversary production and was Assistant Choreographer for the New York Philharmonic "PBS Presents" Candide! starring Patty Lupone and Kristin Chenoweth live from Lincoln Center. Other current choreographic and directing credits are on Steve's "Directing and Choreography" page.

Most significantly, Stephen’s direct work with choreographic theater legends such as Jerome Robbins, Susan Stroman, Gillian Lyne, Wayne Cillento, and Kathleen Marshall adds a wealth of professional knowledge to his teaching and performance workshops. Coupled with his work as a professional S.S.D.C. director and choreographer, he brings invaluable insight into the grueling audition process and the strenuous requirements of being a professional performer.
