Matt Sanford

Matt Sanford (born 12 September 1985 as Matthew Joseph Rodriguez-Sanford) was born and raised in the arts mecca of the Southwest. He is a theatre artist and Santa Fe native with over one hundred credits as an actor, director, writer, designer, and technician in film and theatre. Onstage roles include Macbeth, Dracula, Vince in Buried Child, The Gentleman Caller in The Glass Menagerie and both twins in the original comedy Dead Man's Jest. Matt has appeared as The Sundance Kid on the American History Channel's "Gunslingers," as the lovably obnoxious doctor Curt in "The Donor Conspiracy," and as a mysterious bloodsucking stranger in the acclaimed short film, "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking." He has directed a number of new and original works, as well as published plays, including a lauded production of Conor McPherson's The Weir. Matt has spent much of his professional life encouraging and cultivating young theatre artists as well, leading outreach and creating workshops at Warehouse 21; serving as Assistant Director to Pandemonium Children's Theater for four years; teaching acting, writing and directing for children and teens through Chimera at Meow Wolf; and teaching technical theatre to high school students in and around Santa Fe through the Lensic Performing Arts Center. In keeping with his personal and professional values, Matt believes it is vital to share the human experience through the medium of live storytelling in order to preserve our collective sense of empathy, sympathy and love for each other. In addition to the theatrical arts, Matt is also a published poet, photographer, visual artist and musician, playing ambient guitar compositions under the name MASKSKS. He lives full-time in Santa Fe with his wife, Scarlett; daughter, Hero May; and the latest addition, his son, Desmond Evergreen.
