Alan Ribant
Alan Ribant, Managing Director, was with The Purple Rose Theatre Company when we originally opened our doors in 1991 and is proud to still be here as we begin the next decade in the renovated facility. A native of Detroit, Alan moved back to Michigan to help start the PRTC after spending 1983-1990 with regional theatre companies (Arizona Theatre Company, Lincoln Center Theatre) across the country. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Wayne State University and a Master of Arts from the University of Arizona and was employed in both of their theatre departments. While theatre and the Purple Rose are his professional passions, Alan lives in Ann Arbor with the three true loves of his life, his wife Emily Bramblett and their daughters Gemma and Martha Ribant.
