Pepper Reed
Pepper Reed grew up devouring books sitting atop one of the turrets of the playhouse her dad built for her. She uses genre tropes as metaphors, inviting the audience to connect with people marked as “the other” who are trying to find their place in the unexpected worlds.
Originally from Oklahoma, Pepper received her BFA from New York University & has directed short films, plays, & music videos. She also regularly wears historically inspired fashion that she sews herself.
