Kylan Ritchie now calls New York City home. A Tennessee native, she started performing at the age of five. Her hobby soon became her professional calling. She's appeared in theatres from Tennessee to Florida, playing many roles young actresses begin their careers with including Young Cosette in Les Misérables, JoJo in Seussical the Musical, and Jane Banks in Mary Poppins. 

A callback for a national tour led to her studying with Broadway actor and writer/director Scott Logsdon, as well as Belmont University faculty Erica Aubrey (voice), Anna Perry (dance), and Chris Smallwood (piano). Kylan was fortunate to apprentice and intern with the Nashville Shakespeare Festival and Cumberland County Playhouse where she gained swing and understudy experience, along with training in stage management, stage combat, Suzuki technique, sound, lighting, and wardrobe. 

Kylan has thoroughly enjoyed creating art with director/choreographer DJ Salisbury. Under his direction, she appeared as Dainty June in GYPSY opposite Disney legend and Tony nominee, Jodi Benson's Rose. She received critical acclaim for her portrayals of Natalie in NEXT TO NORMAL with the Gulf Coast Symphony and Darlene in HONKY TONK ANGELS at Riverside Theatre. After casting Kylan as Darlene, DJ shared with Vero's Voice Magazine, "...she's just so talented...I see her and I go like, 'Yes, I want you onstage, I want to see you on stage'. It's that ineffable, that unnamable thing that's just called talent."

Since moving to NYC, Kylan has been studying voice with Mike Ruckles and the Meisner technique at Matthew Corozine Studio. She's also studied acting with the Atlantic Theatre Company and enjoys dancing at Broadway Dance Center while continuing her college studies in Sociology.
