Shalonia Reed (she/her)

Shalonia is an actor, teaching artist, producer, stage manager, and photographer based in Chicago, IL. Having received her BFA in Theatre and M.Ed. In Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Idaho, Shalonia is dedicated to helping young people explore their passion, as well as pushing the boundaries of our educational system in order to help young people obtain the autonomy and power they deserve. Using arts-integration, project based learning, Shalonia is not interested in upholding the status quo in art, education, or society. Her motto in life and art is to have the freedom for failure. This is something she hopes her students can discover alongside herself!
