Tyler Woods founded Reduxion Theatre Company in 2000 under the name Dreamstuff
Productions.  In that year, in the courtyard of Mitchell Hall Theatre on the University of Central
Oklahoma campus, RTC produced Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing on a budget of
$200.  During its 3 day run, over 200 Oklahomans had the opportunity to see theatre done by
a community of young actors and technicians hungry for change…hungry for the opportunity to
have their work seen and respected.  The results were spectacular.  An entire community of
citizens had come together to enjoy a group experience and share in the bond that theatre
can give to us.  A strong belief in the power of theatre to teach and to transform has led Mr.
Woods to seek like-minded artists and patrons over the years to take part in his journey to
explore the human capacity for good and evil in a realm of storytelling as old as humanity.  
This is now RTC’s vision for the people of Oklahoma.






Tyler Woods has been acting, directing and producing Shakespeare's plays for the past
decade and has worked and studied at some of the most prestigious theatres in the country
including The American Shakespeare Center, Virginia Stage Company, The Public Theater and
The Pearl Theatre in New York City.  He has studied with such distinguished professors and
artists as Janet Zaresh – Head of Acting at NYU; Andrew Wade, head of Voice at the RSC and
Tony Award winner Liev Schrieber.  He has directed, produced or acted in 28 productions of
Shakespeare's work in the past decade and is an accomplished stage combat choreographer
as well, having trained and worked with some of the most outstanding fight specialists in this
country.

Education credits include two years as a Teaching Artist with The Town Hall Foundation in NYC;
Education Director for Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park, where he inaugurated their very
popular Young Company Theatre Camp; Classes and workshops in the U.S. and Canada
during a year-long tour with The American Shakespeare Center; and several teaching
residencies in Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas.

Mr. Woods has spent many years learning to appreciate Shakespeare as one of the most
uniquely talented storytellers of all time who holds as much relevance now as he did 400 years
ago.  Reduxion Theatre Company now offers this vision of Shakespeare in all his living,
breathing glory with the ingredients that make humankind unique, viable, pliable, interesting
and ultimately fascinating!

Erin Woods has performed with Reduxion Theatre Company since the beginning.  Mrs. Woods
holds a BA in Theatre Performance from the University of Central Oklahoma and firmly
believes in the heart and talent of this community.  Since arriving in Oklahoma in 1999, Mrs.
Woods joined Oklahomans brimming with talent and striving for excellence and found her
home. With RTC, Mrs. Woods has performed in Hamlet, Lysistrata, The Trojan Women and Much
Ado About Nothing.  Directing credits include, As You Like It for RTC, Uncle Vanya, funded by RTC,
and Art for Oklahoma City Theatre Company. In New York, she worked Off Broadway with the
Pearl Theatre Company.
Since that fateful first production, RTC has gone on to produce some of the most powerful
theatre in Oklahoma – including Euripedes’ Trojan Women and Aristophanes’ Lysistrata as part
of RTC’s acclaimed Artists’ Weekend, or our production of Uncle Vanya, praised by The
Oklahoma Gazette’s Theatre Critic Linda McDonald as something of which, “Moscow Art
Theatre would be proud.”  In New York City, RTC’s Off-Off Broadway productions of Hamlet and
As You Like It garnered critical and popular acclaim.  We have created countless performance
opportunities and educational outreach involving Oklahoma actors both within and without the
state.

Mr. Woods brought RTC back to his roots in 2007 with the vision of a Professional Theatre in
Oklahoma, and a commitment to the people of this state to make that dream a reality.
