Jon Reeves
Technical Director

Jon Reeves, being an Army brat, is from lots of different places across the globe, but he has called Kalamazoo home since 1989 when the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre hired him to be their new Youth Theatre Technical Director. Since that time, Jon has designed and built hundreds of shows for many area theatres including The Whole Art, Wellspring/Cori Terry & Dancers, The API Theatre, the Barn Theatre, the Knockabout Theatre and many local high schools. When he’s not building a show, Jon can often be found making theatrical weapons and teaching actors how to fight with them. Having received a B.A. in technical design and production from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater as well the equivalent of a studio arts minor, Jon works as a sculpture artist in his studio whenever he has some free time. His main medium is steel, but he also works with brass, copper, fabrics and lots of reclaimed throw-aways. The weapons and sculpture studio is named Dragon Tattoo Productions, and after you meet Jon in the flesh, the name makes perfect sense. Visit him at www.dragontattooproductions.com.
