Ryan is a fourth-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. Also, he has had lots of fun music directing UP and IP shows here at IU. His favorite IU credits include: Barry (The Prom), Ralph (Reefer Madness), Elle's Dad/Carlos (Legally Blonde), and Ensemble/Shylock U/S (Something Rotten!). He wants to thank the IUMT faculty for their support. He wants to thank his family and everyone who has supported him through this journey.
