About the Creator

My name is Riley Jay, and my pronouns are He/They/Ey

​

I am an autistic, transgender entrepreneur and creative originally from Grand Rapids, MI! I currently reside in Ypsilanti, MI, with my partner and four fur kids. I graduated in 2019 from Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelor's in Theatre with a minor in Drama & Theatre for the Young. I am currently attending Brooklyn College to receive my MFA in Performing Arts Management. I have been a member of EMU's Playback theatre group since 2017, and I am certified in Playback through the New York School of Playback.

 

For work, I currently do anything I can get my hands on. From gig work to multiple part-time positions, I like to learn about all aspects of working in the theatre world and also learn where my own strengths and abilities lie. I am passionate about theatre arts and creating awareness and inclusivity wherever I go. My partner and I run a drag group called Boylesque Michigan. During the recent pandemic, the two of us produced up to four virtual drag shows a week and hosted various virtual gatherings - equaling about 185 virtual shows over the course of two years! Now, as the world slowly opens once again, we are back to doing in-person drag shows and events.​
