ISU ALUM TO STAR ON BROADWAY ISU alumnus Dennis Ryan ('89) has landed a leading part in the Broadway show, Moon Over Buffalo, which opens Oct. 1 and stars Carol Burnett. Gregg Henry, who heads up ISU Theatre, said Ryan originally was cast as the understudy for the young leading man. When that actor left the show to be in a movie, the producers asked Ryan to take over the role while they looked for a replacement. "While they were hunting for a replacement, they realized Dennis was doing very well in the role, and offered it to him," Henry said. Most of Ryan's scenes in the new Ken Ludwig play are with Burnett. Ryan appeared in numerous ISU Theatre productions while at Iowa State. His career also has included a guest spot on the daytime drama All My Children and a Tylenol commercial last year. _____ contact: Internal Communications, (515) 294-3129 updated: 9-1-95
