Ryder Kole Emerson (He/They) – Associate Director/Rolf Understudy/Male Swing

Ryder is a queer, multi-disciplinary, performing artist based in Ashland, Oregon. He’s thrilled to be wearing so many hats for this production of The Sound of Music, but mostly just glad to be working alongside his better-half Haley as she creates magic on the Camelot stage. Ryder was seen most recently as Ottavio in Scapino! 2024 Camelot Credits: Anything Goes, The Laramie Project, and Spotlight on Sonny and Cher. Oregon Shakespeare Festival: U/S Paris – Romeo & Juliet, Swing – RENT, U/S – It’s Christmas, Carol! Notable Roles: Peter Pan, Crutchie (Newsies), Schroeder (YAGMCB). Love to his friends, family, and furbabies! IG: rke1331
