It’s been fun working with Ryan, especially this trimester. He has grown so much with this current play Ajax in Iraq. His emotions and physicality has grown exponentially and the accents he uses for his different charaters is wonderful. These three years of working with him at Homestead has been fun for me, as I get to see Ryan change and grown into a person who challenges himself with his characters for each play he gets into. So, come see Ajax in Iraq to see his latest acting challenge and success.
