Matt Guidry My first show with TTT in 2000, The Three Lives of Lucie Cabrol, was a blessing in so many ways. To work with such fantastic artists and perform in such an exciting atmosphere for the past 8 years and 8 shows is an adventure I can't imagine doing without. The importance of the audience, our relationship with them, is unrivaled in any other theatrical setting I've experienced. All of us, artist and spectator, are venturing into the TRUE unknown every time the lights go down...or in this case, don't go down. My other passions include my roles as Co-Artistic Director of The Burning House Group Theatre Company and Program Director for Upstream Arts. The Burning House Group been around since 1994 and we produce an eclectic array of conventional, experimental, physical, scripted and original work. Our collaboration with local playwright Alan Berks, 3 Parts Dead, was cited by the Star Tribune as one of the top experimental productions of 2007. (http://www.burninghousegroup.org) With our son Caleb as inspiration, my wife and I founded Upstream Arts in 2006 to provide valuable arts education to youth and adults with disabilities. We work all over the metro area with a population that, much like TTT audiences, are truly thrilled with the experience we share together. (http://www.upstreamarts.org) I am proud to have been involved with many critically acclaimed work around the Twin Cities over the past couple decades...my favorites: TTT's The Three Lives of Lucie Cabrol (Top Ten List), The Good Person of Szechwan (Top Ten List), Winter's Tale (Top Ten List), & Merchant of Venice (Outstanding Small Theatre Production), The Burning House Group's Knock Knock (Top Five List), Say What You Mean and What the Butler Saw, Pillsbury House Theatre's Far Away (Top Ten List), The Theatre Exchange's Colquhoun and MacBride (Best Performance of the Year) and History Theater's Farm Boys. I am also proud to say that I have been involved in with several not-so-great shows over the years. With risk there is always some failure...it's the nature of things. Though, I won't mention those productions here...
