Matthew Wrather is an actor, singer, and musician currently based in New Haven, CT, and holds the usefully vague title Producer-at-Large for New Haven Theater Company. He was a Resident Artist in Long Wharf Theatre's Next Stage program from 2006–2007 and is currently producer-at-large with New Haven Theater Company. Matt graduated from Yale in 2002, and after valiantly trying to hold down a civilian job, rededicated himself to performing full-time.

As a theater artist, Matt has performed, directed, studied, and taught on three continents for over fifteen years. For ten of those years, he was a member of Actors' Repertory Theatre at Santa Monica Playhouse in his native Los Angeles, appearing in nearly one thousand performances of some four dozen productions and touring with the company to the U.K. and Japan. There, Matt collaborated with award-winning playwright Evelyn Rudie on book, music, and lyrics for two full-length works, the experimental dreamward and the long-running musical Backstreet, an adaptation of Sholom Asch's God of Vengeance, which played nine months on the Los Angeles stage.
