By: Sam Desmond Unbelievably there is a level of talent for actors beyond the triple-threat: a thespian who can sing, dance, AND play multiple instruments. The John E. Engeman Theater found not only one, but five such super-talented individuals for their retrospective and introspective production of “Ring of Fire,” a musical based on the life of Johnny Cash.
