THEATRE DIRECTOR

Equipped with belief that storytelling is central to any show, Ryan addresses productions with scrutiny, thought, and creative pizazz. His fingers feel the pulse of a piece as he works collaboratively to deliver its life to the audience.

THE CRITICS SAY . . .

"Whether or not you are a fan of the original CATS, you don't want to miss this fresh new production, which breathes a real human element into the felines and communicates a message of eternal acceptance in a world of constant opposition."
