TUACAHN Amphitheater is quite unique set back in the red rocks outside St. George, Utah. My sister, Joan, lived in St. George and I remember when it was first built her son Ryan got some small parts in the plays presented. Joan was very proud and excited about it. NOW she is gone and Ryan has become quite a big part of Tuacahn. Last Friday night Karrie and I went down and took in "Mary Poppins".......and reading the behind the scenes 'who is who' discovered the following note on Ryan Norton! (Associate Director, Starlight Express/Associate producer)is in his fourth year as a full time Associate Producer for Tuacahn's Broadway in the Desert productions. He is extremely honored and thrilled to be on board as the Associate Director of Starlight Express this season. Another first this year, Ryan will make his Tuacahn's and regional directorial debut with Tuacahn's premiere of Disney's MULAN. Besides producing, he served as the Assistant Director on Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Tarzan. He has also preformed at Tuacahn in several production including the original cast of the musical UTAH. His directing credits include; Oliver, Seussical the Musical, and Disney's High School Musical, Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Spitefire Grill. I know Joan is looking down from above and lovin' every minute of his success.
I also have another nephew who is following this same path, Chase Ramsey. The family has sorta lost track of Ryan and glad to see he is doing so well in what he loved.
