You'll likely see me slamming doors in farces, slinging verse & steel in Shakespeare, or as the charmingly comedic supporting character.
I am especially interested in queer stories, physical storytelling, magical realism, and immersive theatre.
Someone compared me to Lucille Ball once and I've been riding that high ever since.
Proudly queer, nonbinary, and neurodivergent.
Based in Seattle. Wanderer at heart.

"Riti does a fantastic job of walking the line between wounded little girl striving to get back something that was missing from her childhood and wise-cracking manicurist who quite wittily keeps the audience entertained between scenes.”
Anne Valentino, MD Theatre Guide
"Jillian Riti gives us a memorable portrait of a woman whose most basic needs are rejected.”
Andrew White, Broadway World
