    Ed Reggi is a lifelong storyteller who has the stories to prove it. Growing up in the Big Apple, Ed honed his acting career by sneaking into the NBC studios across his Brooklyn street home. He earned his BA in Communications and BFA in Art at Fontbonne University in St. Louis, Missouri. He moved to Chicago, where he continued studying at The Second City with its founder, Broadway director and playwright Paul Sills. Ed returned to campus in 2020 to obtain his MFA in Theatre Education from the nationally recognized Mississippi University for Women in Columbus, Mississippi.

    Ed is an adjunct Professor at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri, and at the Center of Creative Arts (COCA) in University City.  He’s a proud Wolf Trap Teaching Artist with Springboard in St. Louis, specializing in arts integration, media literacy, and character education classes.

You can watch Reggi (portraying himself) teaching improv on Oprah Winfrey’s nationally syndicated TV show, WELCOME TO SWEETIE PIE’S.
