Ep.11 - Taking To The Stage With Trevor Ryan

The week we take to the stage with Trevor Ryan of the Montfort College of Performing Arts, who has almost 40 years on stage. Oh no he doesnt! Oh yes he does! Trevor’s love for the arts began at 12 years of age when he joined the Montfort College of Performing Arts.

But his career path took a different turn when he began working in a bank before making a new change taking on a role at Shandon Travel introducing new J1 adventures for students across Ireland. However, his love for theatre always remained which made him a regular on the Panto stage. This love for acting eventually led him to become the resident co-writer and director of the Cork Opera House Panto.

Around 10 years ago Trevor’s career took a full 360 when he went back to his roots and became a partner and joint artistic director of the Montforts alongside Eileen Nolan who established the business in 1962. This is a fascinating story of how a childhood dream merged with a successful business career to help bring the Montforts from a school with 400 students to 1800 students.
