“TRUNK” by Riley Samuel Merritt will be performed, one night only, on Thursday, April 24 at 8pm at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts.

“TRUNK” is an interactive one-man show that narrates the trials of a young artist circumnavigating his imminent demise. Through the use of poetry, music, and years of cumulative writing, Merritt grapples with the nebulous nature of ambition, love, and identity through the eyes of a flawed Everyman.

Riley Samuel Merritt is an actor, writer, and musician raised in the rugged four corners region. Riley graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in musical theatre, and has spent his years since, training and creating in Southern Colorado including with Thingamajig Theatre Company and Northern New Mexico, having acted in such shows as Little Night Music (Henrik), You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown (Charlie Brown), Heroes of the Fourth Turning (Kevin), Taming of the Shrew (Bianco), and many more.
