Hey there! My name is Jared Ritter! I was raised in the suburbs of Chicago, and I try to keep those small-town Midwest niceties and manners with me wherever I go. I’ve spent the last 10 years training and growing as an actor and musician, looking to bridge the gap between “classic” and “modern” theater. I have a fascination with new work of all kinds, and have spent a large portion of my career working with developmental projects, through both workshops and staged readings.

I’m a huge music nerd, and I’m constantly studying the science and theory of music. I’ve garnered years of experience in studying musical theory, form, and score analysis and I’ve now become a frequent arranger and transcriber. Now, I’ve got information and help to offer others who want to also be a music nerd!

I’m an alumni of Southeast Missouri State University, having just received my BFA in Musical Theatre from the Jeanine Larson Dobbins Conservatory of Theatre and Dance. I love improv, Dungeons & Dragons, and I’m currently obsessed making my own coffee syrups. I finally moved to the Big Apple this past spring, and I am ready to hit the ground running!
