Ryan Zuidema

(Club President/ Head of Tech/ Stagehand/ Svede)

Ryan, is a senior and this is his sixth show since joining the drama club his freshman year. He is sad to be moving on but knows the club is in capable hands for its future and couldn’t be happier. Ryan is extremely grateful for everyone involved and appreciates all who gave their time to make this show as great as it can be. He is proud to end his time here as Head of Tech for both his junior and senior years and has had so much fun building the set and meeting new people during his time. But as the saying goes, “All good things come to an end”. He would also like to thank Ms. Colonna and Mr. Ciraulo for making everyone’s experience so enjoyable the past few years because it’s truly something he will never forget. Best wishes to the future of the Manalapan Drama Club.
