The transmasc Tim Curry rip off you never knew you needed.
Cesario Tirado Ortiz (they/he/it) is a playwright, actor, singer, producer, and about ten other things. It’s hard to keep track as an ultra multi-hyphenate. A SUNY New Paltz graduate, Rio bases most of his work around queer and trans representation, specifically in crafting interesting stories that actors enjoy playing around with. They're also a successful drag artist performing under the name Scam Likely (it/its), and utilizes drag frequently in their work. As of late, they keep on finding themself at 54 Below, producing concerts and cabarets with the intent to uplift underrepresented performers in the NYC theatre scene.
Cesario is an Actors Equity Association member, and is proud to be a trans performer in the union. They’re also a Dramatist’s Guild Associate, and is hoping to move up to being a member soon!
Currently, Cesario is working on two different projects: “it’s been ten years since everyone died,” a dramedy about the women at the end of a horror film, and “The Lex Anthology,” cowritten with his best friend and colleague Hugo Alexander-Rose Reale.
