Ryan Foreman

My name is Ryan Foreman and I’m from Evanston, Illinois. I’m a Chicago-based actor and singer who graduated from Northwestern University in June with a degree in Theatre, Musical Theatre, Acting for the Screen and Sociology. In my free time, I like to play Pokémon Go, run half marathons, and try as many different sushi restaurants as I can. Most recently, I performed in The 89^th annual Waa Mu Show: State of the Art at Northwestern and the virtual performance can be found here . I’m represented by Big Mouth Talent, and just so we don’t forget: vote in November and Black Lives Matter!

When I was four, I was at a Fourth of July picnic with my family. My brother and I were running around and acting up. My mother was telling us to settle down when a random stranger approached her and said “No! Don’t tell them to stop. Put them in theatre.” She did just that. My first show was baby Coalhouse in Ragtime for Music Theatre Works when I was five years old.

Afterwards, my mom put me in theatre summer camps and I participated in the drama department at Martin Luther King Literary and Fine Arts school. I thought I was going to be a soccer star in high school, but that quickly changed when I was cast in Lost in Yonkers and joined Big Mouth Talent.

After truly cultivating a passion for performing during high school, I decided to make it my career and study it in college at Northwestern University. At Northwestern, I was in a wide variety of musicals, plays, and new work productions which have taken me all over the world; to Bosnia and Herzegovina, The Kennedy Center in D.C. and The Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland!
