Garth Ball is a theatre director and educator with the incredible honor of leading the theatre program here at Redmond High School! After growing up in south Seattle, he decided to pursue a career locally in theatre education because of the powerful impact it’s had on his life and the sense of community it fosters. He earned his BA in theatre and English at Seattle U and MA in teaching Seattle Pacific U. In addition to his work at RHS, he freelances as a director, actor, designer and composer with schools, universities and community groups throughout the greater Seattle area (select credits below). When he’s not onstage, backstage, or in the classroom, some of his hobbies include reading, jamming on his electric piano, hiking, and Dungeons & Dragons.
