Meet Ryan Dever! He will be joining us for our next production, Wandering With Magnetic: something i cared about which follows the story of Alyx and Dru, as it unfolds throughout their lives, performed along the Reed Creek Greenway.

Audiences will walk the trail and see scenes of the same couple, played by a different pair of actors in each scene. We reached out to Ryan to tell us a bit about himself and about what his experience has been like during this production.

No specific trail, but any walking path along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

2. What are the biggest challenges of this rehearsal process?

The biggest challenge of this production has to be the Zoom calls.

This is my first production in an Asheville theatre and also my first performing experience in close to seven years!

4. How did you get into theatre?

A community theatre production of Narnia: The Musical in my freshman year of highschool.

5. How is working with The Magnetic different from working with other theatres?

Not to be crude, but this is the first theatre work I've ever done that I'm going to be paid for-- so that alone makes this the most professional acting experience I've had yet!
