## Resource

In this episode, Zach sits down with Ryan Landry, the writer, performer, and visual artist behind Showgirls, Provincetown's longest-running show. Ryan reflects on 45+ years in P-town, the town's changing architecture and culture, his prolific catalog of 79 adapted plays, and his life as a painter. He shares outrageous behind-the-scenes stories from decades of live performance, talks about meeting his partner Scott, recalls encounters with New York nightlife icons and Hollywood figures, and speaks candidly about balancing art with business. It's a funny, unfiltered, and surprisingly tender look at a life built entirely around performance.
