Ryan, Dennis (d. 1786), actor and manager. Very little is known about this early theatre pioneer. With his wife he performed in New York in 1783, then later that year headed a company that played in Baltimore and toured the South. In keeping with the times, he played everything from Iago and Falstaff and Young Marlow in She Stoops to Conquer to numerous roles in long‐forgotten contemporary works.
