She graduated from MacEwan University as well as from the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music with a BFA in Musical Theatre. She has performed in several national tours before getting off the stage to work alongside producers Richard Frankel, Marc Routh, Darryl Roth and Scott Rudin.

Bridget’s artistic relationship with Jason Carter began in 2008 when she curated his first solo art show Nanabozho: The Trickster Rabbit. She has since curated three more of his shows and then in 2001 Bridget and Jason wrote their first children’s book WHO IS BOO: THE CURIOUS TALES OF ONE TRICKSTER RABBIT. This book was launched at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton, Alberta, where thousands of children took in the show over it’s 3 month run. The book is currently being developed into a Children’s Television series as well as, working with a writing team from NYC, being developed into full scale musical premiering Fall 2014. In the winter of 2012 Bridget and Jason opened up The Carter-Ryan Gallery and Live Art Venue in Canmore Alberta on Main Street, a place where art and live performance exist happily under the same roof. Jason Carter and Bridget Ryan continue a prolific and exciting partnership with Rabbit In The Yard Productions, a multi-media production company that produces short films, promotional videos as well as music videos. In 2010 Bridget was named Woman of the Year by the Consumer Choice Awards in Edmonton. ABOUT BOO Who Is Boo: The Terrific Tales of One Trickster Rabbit is a 66-page illustrated children’s book written by Bridget Ryan and illustrated by Jason Carter that chronicles a perpetually curious rabbit who is in a continual race around the world with his brother, because ‘frankly, they forgot where they put the finish line’! Along the way Boo meets many animals. This fleet-footed rabbit, ‘Boo’, inspired by Nanabozho, a trickster figure in Ojibwe mythology, is about curiosity that leads to wonderment that leads to helpfulness! In a world that runs the risk of become more disconnected (even though there is an abundance of social networking), it’s about stopping, connecting, and helping those we meet on our way. Watch out for the The Book of Boo: The Continued Tales of That Trickster Rabbit. AFA Travelling Exhibition Program, Edmonton, AB. Ph: 780.428.3830 Fax: 780.421.0479 youraga.ca
