Ryan is a third-year Musical Theatre B.F.A. student from Naperville, IL. His favorite things to do outside of theater are to play the flute among other instruments, analyze, compose, arrange, and transcribe music, as well as learn about animals. He aspires to travel the country, spreading joy through theater. He hopes to someday write a musical of his own due to his love of music. He also has had lots of fun music directing UP and IP shows here at IU. His favorite credits include: Ensemble (Shylock U/S) in Something Rotten! (IU Mainstage), Whizzer in Falsettos (University Players), and Molag in Firebringer (IU Ind. Project), and Squidward in SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical (WVHS). He wants to thank the IUMT faculty for giving him the opportunity to create art and share his story through theater. He wants to thank his family and everyone who has supported him through this journey.
