Josh is a teacher and award-winning designer

Winner of a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle award for excellence in sound design and a Tony nominee, Joshua Reid is not only an alumnus but also a teacher in WMU Theatre’s Design Tech program. Reid attributes his success to WMU Theatre, describing it as the place where he was able to nurture his creativity. He says, “The professors at WMU always enforced that students should come up with a creative idea first and be able to justify its role in the production to other team members before working out any technical elements or possible restrictions,” Reid says. “The philosophy was crucial in laying the foundation for my design career, as it forced me to think critically and creatively about design ideas and elements.” We are thrilled to have him back, sharing his expertise with our current Design students!
