Following critically acclaimed, sold-out engagements at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles and Arena Stage in Washington, DC, the smash-hit Mindplay  is now enthralling audiences in New York City. Created and performed by Drama Desk Award-nominated mentalist Vinny DePonto (Charlatan), written by Vinny DePonto and Josh Koenigsberg, and directed by Andrew Neisler, Mindplay  invites audiences to an unforgettable, gasp-inducing experience in which your thoughts and memories play a leading role. Infused with intrigue and mystery, DePonto guides participants on a jaw-dropping, interactive journey as he reads minds while also revealing his own.

Ryan returned to Mindplay as the Assistant Stage Manager for the Off-Broadway production which ran for six continuous months in New York City at the Greenwich House Theatre. Combining his skills as a magician and theatre artist, Ryan successfully met the challenging demands of a long running, interactive theatrical magic show spotlighting audience participation.

“A mind reading act that shocks, delights, and comforts.”- NY Theatre Guide

“These are the personal memories and words that somehow he is going to pull ‘out of thin air’ and deliver them back to us within the framing of his show, and every one of those moments dazzles, delivered lovingly with a warm sense of nurture, safety, and care. Much like his own history that he unpacks with us.”- Times Square Chronicles
