And so she wrote her first script for them to workshop as actors.[3] As for her thematic interests, she recounts what happened after The Four-Faced Liar got released: "I had the opportunity to go into meetings with crazy big people. The one question that came up repeatedly was 'what kind of work do you want to do for the rest of your life?' The first time someone asked me that, I answered it so truthfully that I shocked myself. I said, 'I just want to write dark comedies for women that don't ostracize a male audience.'"[6]

In the early 2000s, she was a member of a theater company in Los Angeles, Theater of NOTE, where she received positive critical reviews as a writer and director.[7]

She wrote, co-starred, and co-produced The Four-Faced Liar in 2010. Ryan received the Maverick Award from the Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival in 2016.[2]

She wrote and directed the film 6 Balloons, released in March 2018, and is drafting the reboot of Splash starring Channing Tatum and Jillian Bell.

Ryan is the executive producer and the showrunner for The L Word: Generation Q , the sequel to The L Word, currently in its 3rd season. Showtime.[5][4] More recently, she signed a deal with the Showtime network.[8]
