Winnipeg born and raised, Reid McTavish is an extremely talented and creative individual. This deep dive into Reid's theatrical educational background goes through his experience as a student and a paid performer. Rather than painting the theatre world as magical and perfect, Reid walks us through the mental and emotional rollercoaster that is working as a swing. Isolated, lonely, trapped – these are just a few things Reid felt in the industry that he almost left completely.
