Support Ryan's Journey to the Jimmy Awards

Story

Hi! I’m Ryan Andrews, a queer actor and playwright finishing my MFA in Acting at Indiana University. Ryan Wants a Jimmy Award is my love letter to a lifelong obsession with musical theatre and to the power of making people laugh through pain, joy, and a bit of well-placed vibrato. RYAN WANTS A JIMMY AWARD What happens when a 30-something gay actor, stuck in the audition grind, gets one more shot at his biggest dream—the Jimmy Awards? In this one-person tour de force, I take the audience on a riotous and heartfelt journey through Broadway dreams, hook-up mishaps, and the existential crises that lie in between. With biting wit, showbiz satire, and a whole lot of belting, Ryan Wants a Jimmy Award is a love letter to theatre, to queer resilience, and to the beautiful art of never letting go. Your support will help fund this independent production as it premieres in Bloomington, Indiana, at The Waldron Firebay this fall. Every dollar goes directly toward venue costs, marketing, and the incredible artists making this show possible. Thank you for helping make this dream come true. Let’s win a Jimmy—together.
