Ryan DeLuca is excellent as a confident Texas teen in 'The Bible Belt'
Johnny Hobson is a wise-beyond-his-years teenager who works afternoons with his Mexican-American best friend, Delinda, at the Dairy Queen in Cedar Springs, Texas. He's got charisma, a unique personality and--although he has yet to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up--confidence galore.
"It helps to have an actor as talented as DeLuca playing Johnny," "Although DeLuca is the only actor in the show, there are many characters. Johnny has a preternatural talent for mimicking the folks around him, so we get to meet many of the inhabitants of his town and beyond."
"It's damn hard to own a stage for some 80 minutes, solo and without a break, but DeLuca pull it off admirably."

"The envelope please..." BEST COMEDY "The Bible Belt ... and other Accessories"
"Arizona Onstage Productions' one-man play about a gay teenager working at a Dairy Queen ... takes the Mac. Kevin Johnson directed with a sense of humor strongly laced with pathos. So the play fed the audience some real meat with the fluff."
BEST ACTOR…it is brave, talented Ryan DeLuca, who played Johnny in Arizona Onstage Productions' "The Bible Belt" who wins the MAC. He gave his character in the solo show energy, innocence and a big, big heart.

"pitch perfect (Ryan DeLuca's Pedant has a delicious moment of rapid speak done with pristine pronunciation and a sublimely straight face)."

"A Witty Musical with a Lot of Heart"
"it was young DeLuca, soon to be a freshman at Catalina Foothills High School, who stole the audience's heart with his Jason. DeLuca is a natural actor. He made Jason's conflicts over girls, parents and baseball palpable and universal."

'The Tempest'
"...performances that shone - in particular, David Morden and Ryan DeLuca…the clowns Stephano and Trinculo..."
