Alley All New Festival Volunteer (February 2017, January 2019)
In February 2017, Ryan returned to the Alley Theatre to volunteer at the Alley All New festival of new plays. While there, he was able to help facilitate the execution of a major new play festival, as well as observe the new play development process at a major regional theatre. As part of the festival, he was able to observe the new play development process for the following plays: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Kenneth Lin, The Cake by Bekah Brunstetter, The Carpenter by Robert Askins, Describe the Night by Rajiv Joseph, Lover, Beloved: An Evening with Carson McCullers by Suzanne Vega and Duncan Sheik, and Roan @ the Gates by Christina Gorman.

He will observe the development processes of: 72 Miles to Go... by Hilary Bettis, Amerikin by Chisa Hutchinson, Sophia by Claire Kiechel, The Supreme Leader by Don Nguyen, Whistlin' Dixie by Glen Berger, and Mr. Texas by Lawrence Wright, Marcia Ball, and Gordon Wright.
