DancerPaul Reid

is very happy to be doing "That Other Woman's Child" again after having the time of his life in Tennessee the last time it was done. Paul has done countless shows around the Southland, many with Mark Knowles.

Favorite rolls being: Dermah in La Cage aux Folles (second girl on the left), Rolph in The Sound of Music, Harry in My Fair Lady. Other than theatre, and to keep a roof overhead, Paul worked at Universal Studios Hollywood portraying Stan Laurel. When that gig ended, he hooked up with a few companies and gets to do private parties at least once or twice a month.
