Ryan J. Haddad is making theater more gay and disabled, and we love him for it
Ryan Murphy’s The Politician or from his recent, critically acclaimed off-Broadway show, Dark Disabled Stories – always knew he was meant to be a star. “I think, as a kid, whether it was from ego, or stubbornness, or pompousness or whatever, I was like, ‘I’m a star, I’m a star, I’m gonna be a star,’ he told American Theater back in February.A post shared by Ryan J.
Haddad (@ryanjhaddad)There was just one little problem: he didn’t quite know how he was going to become one. “I didn’t know how one made a career in New York in the professional performing arts,” he told Playbill. “I didn’t come from a family that had any sort of performing arts background at all… And then you add the layer of being disabled.
And, you know, in my true youth, it didn’t dawn on me that that was going to create another barrier to entering [the performing arts].”A post shared by Ryan J.
