Ryan is delighted to be traveling with such a great group of hooligans. Recently, he moved to New York City where he spent his winter freezing his little toes off.. Regionally, Ryan has performed at the Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati (Mary's Wedding), the Human Race Theatre (Ears On A Beatle, Will Power), New Edgecliff Theatre (Fat Pig), The Theater Barn (Boy Gets Girl, Unexpected Guest), and Florida Repertory Theatre (Deathtrap, Amy's View,...). He has also helped playwright William Mastrosimone workshop his piece, Bang, Bang You're Dead (Florida Stage). As a proud graduate of the University of Central Florida's BFA Performance program, he has joined forces with his former classmates in their creation of Counting Squares Theatre (NYC). Ryan would like to thank all of your smiling faces, the cast and crew, his mother, family, and friends. "Thank you for joining us. Hope you enjoy all the shenanigans."
Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Jonathan is thrilled to be making Echoes of Ireland his first touring production. Since his career began in 2002, he has had the great fortune of working with and learning from such figures as Sir Ben Kingsley, Alan Rickman, John Barton, and Alan Langdon. Special thanks: BJ, DR, LGK, JM, & MAM, “you inspire the following in me and my work”: Semper Veritas. For Patt.
