JAMES RAGEN!

I am a Brooklyn based actor from San Diego, CA.

Check out my senior showcase! I am a recent graduate of the BFA Acting program at Syracuse University. I love The Beatles, Stephen King’s IT, and the San Diego Padres.

My love of the arts began with my love of piano, which I began learning at age three before picking up guitar at five. My first original song, “Sugar Rush,” written when I was seven, kicked off my passion for artistic creation. I’m a trans guy, and recently, I created, wrote, directed, and performed in my cabaret fundraiser “The Cult Cabaret” at Syracuse University in support of Trans Lifeline. Most recently, I created and produced “Songs From The Musicals That Made Me Queer” at 54 Below featuring performers from every letter of the LGBT+ acronym telling their stories through songs that inspired them as they moved through their queer journey.
