Riley Johnston (he/him) is a 24-year-old actor and singer originally from Richmond, VA, now making a new home in NYC. After graduating from Shenandoah Conservatory with a B.F.A. in Musical Theatre in 2023, he hit the road with the National Tour of SHREK: THE MUSICAL, playing Pig 2 and understudying Shrek.

When he’s not performing, Riley loves spending time at amusement parks and can talk for hours about roller coasters—his favorite is Verbolten at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Whether it’s the excitement of a great ride or the joy of connecting with an audience, he’s always chasing moments that bring people together and make life a little more fun.

Fun fact.....name any amusement park within the United States and he'll be able to name at least 3 rides from the park and their manufacturer! His knowledge will surely impress you, especially if nobody is fact-checking.
