Ciara Myst (She/They) is an Indy-based drag activist with a passion for the arts. Out of drag, "Ryan" has been seen as a performer at Footlite Musicals, on and off stage at The Artists' Studio, and touring the country with the Purdue Varsity Glee Club.

Recognizing the importance theater played in his own life, Ryan helped to establish a scholarship program at Hamilton Southeastern High School for Drama Club students, and has worked as a director for youth drama programs to inspire future thespians. Working with kids is not much different than working with drag queens, so getting involved with Indy Drag Theatre was a perfect match!

As a drag artist, Ciara Myst is passionate about creating safe spaces for all types of people, and queer visibility. The opportunity to support Indy Drag Theatre is incredible because of that very combination. Ciara Myst hopes that by introducing Indiana theater-goers to more LGBTQIA+ stories, we are helping to open minds, and ultimately make our home a more inclusive place for all people.
