Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center and Trinity Repertory Company collaboration.
One of the first productions in theater for Miss Ryan began while she was employed at Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, during a collaboration with the museum and Trinity Repertory Company. Duties included performing on stage, assisting with casting and production elements.
A project that began as a festival of plays named "Theater From the Four Directions" in 2001, directly resulted in two full productions of two plays from that festival which Miss Ryan worked independently on after leaving the Museum in 2002. This work included the full scale, regular season production of "The Buz'Gem Blues" at Trinity Repertory Company in 2005 as a liaison for the playwright Drew Hayden Taylor.
"Grandchildren of the Buffalo Soldiers" national touring production was a collaboration between the Penumbra Theatre and Trinity Repertory Company and ran through February of 2006.
