Growing up in Springfield’s community theatre scene shaped who Wesley Bryan is as an artist—but it was High Tide Theatrical that helped him find true belonging. In this deeply personal reflection, Wesley shares how productions like The Rocky Horror Show and HAIR challenged him, built his confidence, and gave him the freedom to be unapologetically himself, while thanking the supporters who make that community possible.

Some roles change you — they crack you open and show you who you really are underneath. For me, that role is Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
Some passions never fade, they just wait for the right moment to come into your life. For me, that passion is the Rocky Horror Show.
“The world of Rocky Horror is like no other; it’s a safe space to be outrageous, weird, sexy, and free. And for me, that safety net opened the door to a deeper confidence that carried into every part of my life.”
Every season, High Tide invites us in to engage with stories that linger long after the lights come up. These stories require us to bring our vulnerability to the front and leave our judgement at the door. In a time that stigmatizes saying the quiet part out loud, Every Brilliant Thing gently insists otherwise.
