About Me

My photo
Ron Reed
I'm an actor, writer, and director, the founding artistic director (now 'emeritus') of Vancouver's Pacific Theatre. I've got a podcast, Soul Food Ghost Light, a late-night pirate radio show where I play exactly what I want. My blogs include Date Movies (not what you think), and Oblations.
