    as Ruthie

    I’m so excited to be back at the Ritz! This is my second time on the Ritz stage. This show has been one of my favorites and I’m so honored that I get to be Ruthie. She has reminded me so much of my grandmother in some ways. I have loved getting to know this cast and we have had so much fun.

    as Bill

    After retiring in 2020, my wife Janice and I decided to relocate to Snyder from the Houston area. In 2024, after seeing several productions at the Ritz, I decided to audition for Dearly Departed. I was awarded a part and had an absolute ball working with an amazing cast and crew. Since then, I have been fortunate to have been able to participate in several shows at the Ritz. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all the people that I have had the privilege of getting to know. I am looking forward to participating in more productions. Janice and I are also looking forward to continuing to support the Ritz and all the fine work they are doing by bringing this wonderful entertainment to our community.
