Matthew Barry is a Connecticut native, and has been working in various roles of theatrical production for over 20 years, concentrating on scenic design.  It was way back in high school where he discovered he could meld his interest in art and architecture with his love of the theatrical experience. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Technical Theatre And Design from Keene State College in New Hampshire and a Master of Fine Arts in Scenic Design from the North Carolina School of the Arts. He currently resides in New England, where he spends his off time kayaking with his family in the rivers of the northeast.
