Rondi Reed

Rondi Reed is the kind of artist I instinctively respect. More than fifty productions at Chicago's Steppenwolf is not a résumé, it's a vocation, and her 2008 Tony for August: Osage County felt like the theatre world finally putting a spotlight on a working actor's actor. From a small-town Illinois start to Broadway, she built it the slow, honest way, in front of live audiences night after night. With almost no social media footprint, she lets the work speak. I find that old-school dedication to the stage genuinely moving, and far more impressive than easy fame.
