My Life in Alaska Theatre - A Conversation with Playwright, Actor, Director, and Producer Dick Reichman

Dick Reichman has been a central figure in Alaska theatre for decades as a playwright, actor, director, producer, and more. He was born in 1945 in New York's Garment District. Instead of returning to take over the family store after college, he went to Carnegie-Mellon University on a Schubert Playwrighting Fellowship, then wrote and directed for Theater Workshop Boston. To support his passions for theatre and baroque keyboard instruments, he worked in radio stations and tuning pianos in several states, eventually landing in Valdez.  He was the morning man at KCHU for ten years until Jerry and Sandy Harper drew him to Anchorage in the 90s to be an integral part of their new Eccentric Theater Company (later Cyranos), which premiered ten of his plays. More recently he has done plays with RKP Productions, which he co-founded with Audrey and Bruce Kelly and the late Bob Pond. Dick and his wife, Christine, have three children, Nathaniel, Benjamin, and Amanda, who are all involved in the arts.
