I’m Chelsea Reynolds. I’m an actor, singer, director, and educator working to cultivate and grow the arts in Birmingham, AL.
Chelsea Reynolds hails from Gulf Breeze, FL. She is a member of SAG-AFTRA and is an AEA Equity Membership Candidate. She holds an MFA in Acting from the University of Alabama.
Chelsea is Associate Professor and Director of the BFA Musical Theatre at Samford University in Birmingham, AL.
Chelsea is a mix between Ellen Ripley of the Alien franchise and Jessica Day of New Girl. She can get the job done with a flamethrower when necessary whilst saying something awkwardly funny in the midst of it or, likewise, will trip and fall immediately following defeating the Xenomorph (as an Enneagram 6, she always has a lighter and Leatherman multitool on hand).
Her favorite writers include Stephen Sondheim, Tennessee Williams, Louisa May Alcott, Shirley Jackson, and Sylvia Plath; or, as her husband calls her tastes in writing and music, The Sad Girl Club.
As always, Chelsea thanks Dolly Parton for teaching her that storms help trees take deeper roots. Psalm 8.
