Broadguess, A Shakespearian Sidebar
Elizabethan detective, Broadguess, stumbles upon a serial killer, which forces the question: What if that mirror being held up to nature is cracked? -- Absurd, hilarious and too, too much fun.
An accomplished improviser, writer and actor, Dee Ryan is a proud alumna of The Second City in Chicago where she wrote and performed in three reviews on The Second City E.T.C. stage: “One Nation Under Fraud”, “Baby Richards Got Back” and “Farewell My Compuserve” – for which she was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award with the ensemble. She also toured nationally with The Second City touring company. Dee began her improv career with ImprovBoston developing the musical form, which is now performed by Baby Wants Candy. Additionally, Dee is an original improv cast member of The Armando Diaz Experience and Hootenany, Lois Kaz, Stacy’s Not Here, and The All Girl Revue - winner of the Audience Award at the 2010 Women in Comedy Festival in Boston, MA. As part of the West Coast comedy community, Dee worked at The Second City Conservatory in Hollywood and performed with Teacher’s Loung. At the Adelaide Comedy Festival in Adelaide, Australia, Dee improvised the role of The Professor in Modern Problems in Science (an interdisciplinary improvised college class), and in Chicago, she performed in Cast on a Hot Tin Roof an improvised Tennessee William play. Her extensive work in the theatre also includes the role of Dee in The Reduced Shakespeare Company’s production of The Complete Millennium Musical (abridged), which toured nationally and internationally. (You can hear her sing on The Complete Millennium Musical – (abridged) CD.) Her one-woman show DeeConstruction was workshopped at Pittsburgh Public Theater and premiered at Reston Center Theater in Reston, VA and The FanaticSalon in Culver City, CA. She co-wrote Fatwah Caprice with Russ Lees and Dave Razowsky, which premiered at The Zephyr theater, LA. Her pandemic project Broadguess was selected and performed at Nebraska’s Flatwater Shakespeare as part of their UnShaken Festival. In 2022, she directed the world premiere of Emma and Richie’s Big Viking Funeral for The Hollywood Fringe Festival which won an Encore Award. Dee is currently the proud president of the North Shore Shakespeare Society, which means she’s responsible for sending group texts.
