Ryan Hemstock
Mike
Ryan Hemstock is an artist residing in Orange, CT. A young jock turned artist, Ryan began his love of film and the theatrical life at the age of 14. Now a third year drama student at Western Connecticut State University, he works both ends of the table as actor and technician; performing most notably as Timothy in Robert Askins Hand to God, and as Aaron in Organizing in the time of COVID-19...Maybe Not? A newly devised technological production under the direction of Chris Bolan. The production addresses the lives of college age students facing the mountainous obstacles of surviving against COVID-19, and the ongoing social injustice movement arising in 2020. For his work, he was nominated for the 2020 KCACTF Irene Ryan Acting award and scholarship. Still a relative rookie to the theatre world, this is Ryan’s first venture into podcasting where he knows he still has much to learn.
