Ryan Beaghler (The Elaborate Ruse) is a senior at Pace University majoring in Acting with minors in Psychology and Queer Studies. Their work explores the trivial pursuit that is human existence through ridiculous means. How does dysphoric nihilism give way to barbaric euphoria? They’d like to find out. So they aspire to make work as a performer and writer that vindictively begs the question “Who f*****g cares?” Do you? Some credits include: The Winter’s Tale (Dion, Pace University), Father Time’s Karaoke Party (Lady Deja, The Dare Tactic), Angels in America (Louis), Dust to Dust (Andy/Devising Performer, Stand Up Productions), Uphorium! (Devising Performer, Theatre Row), 32 Suncook Road (Harold, Manhattan Repertory Theatre), Cubicle: The Musical (Erasery, The Bad Theatre Festival)
