    I may be new to the Ritz but I am no stranger to acting. Since childhood, I have long enjoyed performing for friends and family either creating and acting out silly skits or doing impersonations. I enjoyed my years in OAP and I am excited to return to the stage! I’m hoping to pass down my love for the theatrical arts to my son Rylan.
