Funnily enough, Ryan Kinville (age 15; deeply closeted) played Oscar Wilde in a high school production of Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lilly. For Ryan (age 23; anxiously engaged in figuring all this s&%! out) to embody several primary villains in the downfall of Oscar is... actively unlocking a fun, wacky lil' part of Ryan's psyche. Enjoy the ride? Ryan's prior credits include performances at the Parker Theatre: Fred (A Christmas Carol), Patroclus (The Pumpkin Giant), Horatio (Hamlet), Kay (The Sword and the Stone), and Don Pedro (Much Ado About Nothing).
