Trey Tatum – Having received much
acclaim on the stage as Olympic Traveler #3 in his third grade play, Trey now enjoys
a more comfortable role offstage where he writes and composes. He received a BA
in theatre arts from Birmingham-Southern College and is currently a playwriting
MFA candidate at Actors Studio/Pace University in Manhattan. His plays have
been performed throughout Alabama, in Virginia and New York City with an
upcoming production in New Jersey. His music has received performances in
Alabama, Tennessee, New York City and Prague with scheduled performances in
Pennsylvania. When Trey is not writing or composing, he enjoys making smutty youtube videos with his roommate.
Trey Tatum was raised on the Alabama Gulf Coast and
now lives in beautiful, boring Jackson Heights, NY.
