Karen Sneed has worked in the theatre as an actress, director, producer, stage manager, dramaturg, fight and dance choreographer, snake wrangler (for Last Chance Production’s Holy Ghosts) and tech operator. She earned her BA in Theatre from the Professional Theatre Training Program (now defunct) at SMU and has worked on many stages in Austin for over 40 years. Despite being a hard-ass, people seem to enjoy working with her. By day, she serves as a sales rep and purchaser for Longhorn Office Products, a locally-owned independent office supply company.
