About Me
Hi! I'm Teddy Skye Garcia (he/him) a writer, artist, performer, and activist currently studying Communications and Creative Writing (and working as a Student Ambassador/Tour Guide) at American University in Washington D.C.
Transgender, disabled, and endlessly stubborn, I've been fighting to make the world a better place since well before transition, and continued that fight with my own 503(c) non-profit organization, TRANScend Youth (transcendyouth.org). I work to give LGBTQ+ youth and their allies education, opportunities, and a platform for joy through public speaking, outreach, and event production.
​
I've worked in theatre in about every position you can imagine both on stage and off, most recently acting as an Associate Director to Kenneth Ferrone on BETTER DAYS: A New Musical, acting as Music Director for On A Sensual Note, and working as a development director for the Rude Mechanicals at AU. ​
When I've got a break (which isn't too often) I love spending time with my family in Southern California, including 3 very small dogs who I miss dearly. I also love performing -- in musical theatre, with my a capella group, with my barbershop quartet, any form of public speaking, and even stand-up comedy every so often. I play 4 instruments, and too much Dungeons and Dragons.
​
My life motto is: "Always give 100% unless you're donating blood."

Watch my favorite project!
"Home For The Holi-Gays" (2023) was a fundraiser variety show produced entirely by me and TRANScend Youth which featured a dozen queer youth performers, which raised over $2000 for queer youth arts education. Did I have to eat a dog treat and get cheez-whiz'ed live on stage? Yes, yes I did. Do I still consider it one of the best nights of my life? Yes I do. Do I want to do it again? I'm already planning it.
You can watch the whole thing now with the links below! Thanks again to all performers, audience go-ers, and everyone at the Hillcrest Center for the Arts for helping make a crazy dream come true.
