About Me!
Hello friends! I am Matt Seib, I use he/him/his pronouns, and welcome to my website!
Although I’ve spent my college years on the East Coast at Elon University, I am originally from the Seattle, Washington area, where I’ve developed an affinity for cloudy days and quaint coffee shop vibes. Along with my BFA in Music Theatre, I aspire to become qualified as a theatrical intimacy director. On a constant journey of growth and discovery, I see every moment of time as an opportunity for self-reflection and connection. My goal is to bring this same self-reflection into my work and inspire audiences to do the same.
I aspire to be an active part in changing the theatre industrial complex that the performing arts industry has found itself bound by. I believe we have gone far from the source of what theatre is and I try to keep conversations on this shift consistent in our system. If we don’t keep these conversations active, we are active members of its continuance.
Black Lives Matter.
We need to face the reality that although our industry has been seen as inclusive throughout history, we need to put that inclusivity into action and make our space more equitable for our black and brown friends. This time should be a time of listening, educating, and subsequent action with complete transparency. Broadway Advocacy Coalition is doing great work for us, fostering conversations around our industry specifically:
Fugitive Songs: Matt will be playing Gavin in Elon University's production of Fugitive Songs this Spring. It will be recorded due to covid regulations, so keep an eye out!
The Wild Party: Matt made his directing debut this Fall with a production of The Wild Party in the format of a website using the original poem as the source material and using choice songs from the musical. Contact if interested in viewing!
Graduation and Casting Series: Matt is graduating with his BFA in Music Theatre in the Spring of 2021 from Elon University with his beautiful class!
