Trinity Wheeler was born on April 7, 1980 in Tyler, Texas. Growing up in East Texas, country music was a major influence during his childhood. He was asked to sing the National Anthem when he was 12 years old at a local rodeo and the performing never stopped. He continued singing at rodeos, fairs and country/western dancehalls well into his teens. When he was 16, a trip to London’s West End introduced him to musical theatre. While his love for country music remained strong, a deep passion for theatre began to develop. He appeared in numerous plays and musicals throughout high school at local theatres in East Texas.

After graduating, he auditioned and was cast as a featured singer/skater in the National Tour of A Holiday Spectacular on Ice. His performing career continued with tours of Damn Yankees and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. While on the road, Trinity became interested in the management and producing aspects of live theatre. As a Stage Manager, Company Manager and Associate Producer his credits include the National Tours of Rent, Oklahoma!, The Wedding Singer, The Producers, The Wizard of Oz, Titanic, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Crazy for You, West Side Story, Mame and Camelot.

While continuing to explore theatre, Trinity’s other interests include writing and activism. He is currently working on a book about his experience growing up as a gay teenager in East Texas. He hopes to help families navigate having a gay son or daughter in a positive, supportive and loving manner.

Trinity lives in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
