My Story

Max Raymond (he/him) is a gay trans man, writer, actor, educator, theatre administrator, and creative strategist living in NYC. He holds a B.A. in Communication Media, Arts Entrepreneurship, and Vocal Performance from NC State University, and has worked with theatre companies throughout North Carolina and New York. Max recently originated the role of the Dungeon Master in the World Premiere of "In the Castle of Eternal Sunset: A Module for Ten 0th Level Characters," a new two-hander play by Charles Green that changed from performance to performance according to the roll of a d20 die. Earlier this year, he originated the role of Archie Andrews in the World Premiere of "Archie’s Weird Parody," a new musical by Neil Klein. Outside of performing, he is the Director of Communications at Theatre of the Oppressed NYC. Max is also the recipient of a 2022-2023 Echoes Playwriting Fellowship through Primary Stages, a member of The PlayGround Experiment’s Literary Advisory Council, an alumni Mentor with the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition’s Trans Leadership Academy, and an alumni ensemble member of the NYC- and Chicago-based Social Justice Improv Project.

Sexual Orientation

Gay

Gender Identity
iOne’s internal, deeply held sense of gender. Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.

Race/Ethnicity
iRacial identity is the qualitative meaning one ascribes to one’s racial group, whereas ethnic identity is a concept that refers to one’s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group. At their core, both constructs reflect an individual’s sense of self as a member of a group; however, racial identity integrates the impact of race and related factors, while ethnic identity is focused on ethnic and cultural factors. We celebrate our Keys’ intersectionality and understand that creating one’s racial/ethnic identity is a fluid and nonlinear process that varies for every person. Many folks will identify with more than one background while others will identify with a single group more broadly.
