Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness (San Francisco, 2012)

Produced by 99 Stock Productions out of San Francisco, the show went on to win Best Overall Production at the 2012 NY Fringe Festival.

IAN GREW UP IN LA's San Fernando Valley where he began acting in school plays at the ripe age of seven. He's been hooked on the pursuit of the craft in every possible medium ever since.

During high school, Ian booked commercial and film roles with Gage Group LA while he also performed in school musicals. Upon graduation, he moved to the Bay Area to study Theatre Arts with an emphasis in Performance at San Francisco State University, and between 2009 and 2013 he was involved with an array of university productions, student films, and local independent theatre companies.

In 2015, he moved to Sacramento, CA to join the Davis Shakespeare Ensemble as an associate producer and marketing director. He has since removed that “hat” but continues to perform in their summer festivals. Now, Ian works in the region with companies including Big Idea Theatre, Sacramento Theatre Company, and Capital Stage on both contemporary and classical theatre. He proudly joined Actors’ Equity Association in the fall of 2018.

In addition to acting, Ian is involved in writing for indie comics and podcasts, as well as producing his own music. Occasionally he can be found busking with his trusty accordion on a corner.  Scroll down to learn more.
