By day, you can find me at home running my small business as a counselor. All of my spare time is spent in the theatre or being a doggy-daddy, riding my bike and swimming. Currently I'm working with John Jacobsen at [Freehold] to develop my one-man solo show which is titled, "Getting Better." For me, 25 years of sobriety, 15 years without a cigarette and 7 years with a 140 pound loss, that means I have something to say about "getting better." Any advice for putting this show together? I'll take it! I look forward to hear from you…Peace Out!!!

Jonathan M. Rizzardi (they/them) is a Seattle area performing artist and theatre historian. After moving from Washington, D.C. to complete their PhD in Theatre History and Performance Studies at the University of Washington School of Drama where they were a nominee for the 2019 Excellence in Teaching Award, Jonathan has continued to teach youth theatre, act, facilitate educator training programs, and develop social activist-focused curriculum in the Pacific Northwest. A Visiting Assistant Professor of Education at Pacific Lutheran University where they teach instructional methodologies for arts-based, trauma-informed, equity-centered education to future teachers, Jonathan earned their BA and Master of Arts in Teaching at St. Mary’s College of Maryland where they were winner of the Margaret Eagle Dixon Award in Literature and Maryland’s Teachers of Promise distinction.

Jonathan has grown by learning alongside students at Seattle Children's Theatre, Round House Theatre, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Imagination Stage, Everyman Theatre, Young Playwrights’ Theater, The Bell Tower Theatre, and as a guest artist in schools across the country. On stage, they have performed with Monumental Theatre Company, Theatre Prometheus, Source, Dacha Theatre, Tenth Muse Productions, Kensington Arts Theatre, Watermelon Inc., IStage, and Round House Theatre.

Rizzardi’s practitioner work extends across fields of youth creative drama, arts integration for mental health and wellness, stewardship for student populations in juvenile detention centers and drug rehabilitation facilities, and creating alongside youth in the foster care system. Their scholarship unpacks how acts of education, maturation, and coming-of-age intersect with theatre and public performance in the early twentieth century United States, and unravels queer readings of teaching and learning as mechanisms of citizen-making in the theatrical past. Jonathan hopes to use theatre performance and scholarship to champion the artistic aspirations of students of all ages, and to create collaborative art that promotes conversation.
