Aryan was introduced to CYPT a few years ago and has been committed to auditioning whenever the opportunity arises. He has truly enjoyed every aspect of his time at CYPT, embracing the fun—and sometimes tiring—adventures it brings. Aryan has dedicated himself to the arts, participating in a wide range of productions. He is passionate about acting, always bringing energy to his performances and enjoying the chance to showcase dynamic poses with his characters. Outside of the theatre, Aryan has a variety of interests. He loves to cook, edit videos, sketch, play piano and other instruments, go on road trips with his mom, create games, experiment with stop-motion, and write his novel. You may have seen him in several CYPT productions, including Gods Play Dice with the Universe, Whimsy, Locomotive, The Frozen Deep, and The Smoking Gun. He will also be performing in the upcoming Cannonball as Henry in Beauty Pageant. Aryan is grateful for the incredible journey he’s experienced with CYPT, and he’s learned invaluable lessons along the way, especially appreciating the creativity that surrounds him in space.
All my quotes are really stupid so I’ll just make something inspiring
“You can either believe you’ll make it, or never try”
