Professor Arthur M. Reese received his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Virginia. Reese was the first and to our knowledge, is still the only African American to earn this degree in theatre from UVA.
One of the most meaningful highlights in Reese’s career came when he was presented at court in Bermuda to Prince Phillip of England in recognition of his outstanding work with young people. Reese thanks God for the opportunity to work and for the world’s best assistant Ms. Kyla Brown.
