I played Sheriff File in an innovative production of 110 in the Shade with Reboot, a fringe theatre company in Seattle known for reinvigorating classic works.

I created original arrangements for a few of the songs in order to accompany myself on guitar.

"From his first notes, you know Ricky Spaulding is bringing something special to the part of Sheriff File. His deadpan retorts and earnest replies build a complicated character. But it is in his soulful songs that we find the greatest depths of File's heart"
-Kelley Rogers Flint, Broadway World

“There are solid performances throughout, particularly from Ricky Spaulding (Sheriff File)”
- Jerald Pierce, Seattle Times
