Meet the Cast of A Christmas Carol's Past: Austin Joseph Reynolds

Meet Austin Joseph Reynolds

When I was ten-years-old, my first audition for anything was Meadow Brook Theatre's A Christmas Carol. I remember the day I auditioned so clearly, reading sides from the Cratchit dinner scene - "... the potatoes are bubbling! ..." For the years 2004 and 2005, I performed the role of Scrooge as a Boy and the Boy Caroler. For the years 2006 and 2007, I performed the role of Peter Cratchit. I will forever love this production. In fact, I think I could still recite nearly every line from beginning to end. After A Christmas Carol, I attended Interlochen Arts Academy for high school. In 2017, I graduated from The Juilliard School with a BFA in Ice. In May of 2017, I joined a contemporary ballet company called Aspen Santa Fe Ballet and traveled to and around France, Israel, Canada and the U.S. for two years. In June of 2019, I decided to move back to New York at the end of August. The week I moved back, I auditioned for the National Tour of Cats. Less than a week later, I got an offer to join as a Swing and as the Dance Captain. We are currently at the Kennedy Center and my heart is so full. I would not be here today if many people had not shared their love and wisdom with me at Meadow Brook; especially Terry Carpenter, Judy Dery and Tom Mahard. There are many different kinds of people in this business, so the fact that my first experience could be so wonderfully special and loving means the world to me.
