Erie's 40 Under 40 recognizes individuals who are involved and invested in the community and celebrates “Erie’s young talent, as well as a reminder that emerging leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs are continually living and thriving in Erie,” according to the publication's website.
Ryan Dawley, 39, launched Spotlight 814, a podcast and website devoted to local theater that is not strictly confined to Erie’s city limits where he delivers in-depth coverage and reviews of local productions. Dawley is a musical theater veteran, landing roles at the Erie Playhouse, PACA, Meadville’s Academy Theatre and the Franklin’s Barrow-Civic Theatre. He is also the co-host of the local podcast Idiotville.
However, that is just some of what Dawley does in his spare time. His day job is the audio supervisor of “Chronicles” for WQLN/PBS/NPR where he oversees the sound of the acclaimed original program, which took home a Great Lakes Emmy Award in June.
