Terrell Donnell Sledge

born and raised in San Diego, CA, the youngest of two boys. Sitting in on his older brother's theatre classes at the Community Actor's Theatre in San Diego, Terrell became fascinated with performance and expression. When he was finally allowed to join in, he fell in love with theatre and never looked back. Terrell first performed on stage at the age of 6. A graduate of Yale University, Terrell received his B.A. in Theatre Studies in 2008. While at Yale, Terrell performed in productions of The Piano Lesson, and The Wiz and directed productions of Betrayal, Sally?s Rape and more. The time spent pursuing his M.F.A. have been years that will always be cherished. Performances in The Crucible [Giles Corey/Mercy Lewis], Vieux Carre [Tye], The Lady From Dubuque [Oscar], Blood Knot [Zachariah], The Duchess of Malfi [Ferdinand], We Are Proud to Present? [Black Man], Look Homeward, Angel [Dr. Maguire], and The Hot L Baltimore [Mr. Katz/Cab Driver], stand out and will always be remembered. Terrell has also been fortunate to have opportunities to work as a program advisor for The Annie E. Casey Foundation's: Making Connections Providence, as well as the Yale-Dixwell Community Learning Center. Having founded a youth leadership and advocacy program in San Diego, youth empowerment and education have always been one of Terrell's passions and he is proud to continue those efforts working with students, educators, artists and lovely people from around the world. Change is something you live and embody in such a way that it infects the world.
