Hello

Toby Riggle

When I met Shayla I had just graduated from the Stella Adler Studio of Acting NYC in 2014, and moved to Los Angeles to further my acting in TV and Film. I have been regularly immersed in Classical and Musical Theatre for nearly 20 consecutive years. Within the 1st few weeks of my arrival, I booked a series regular in Paper Cuts (Legend Group Studios). I then starred in various shorts such as Cypher, Comfort, Blaque Out and the highly successful Indie short “Viral,” directed by Kevin Welbeck. Having also been cast as a seasonal performer at Universal Studios, I continued to stay busy in the theatre world in Hollywood, I had the privilege of starring in 2 productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Julius Caesar, Three Penny Opera at A Noise Within Theatre Company. Along with  2 more musicals at the Cupcake Theatre, Urine Town and Cinderella. Since then I have become an active member of the United States Air Force and dedicated to providing an outlet of artistic expression for veterans and all our nations hero's. 

 

Shayla Hudson Riggle

I have experienced over 25 years of success in the entertainment industry both in front of the camera, and behind. Those 25 years are coupled with my background in Non-Profit Development and Business Management. Some of my direct network television experience is with BET, Universal NBC, Oxygen, UPN, and the CW. I'm a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts where I trained in classical theater and writing. 3 months After graduation, I toured doing classical theater internationally and performed with the Charles Royal Shakespeare Co., & Shakespeare By the Sea. There was a lack of diversity in the classical space, so I started to produce content with a classical feel for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) artists. That is when I met my Husband Toby. 

​

I then pivoted to consulting and started ShayTime Features. ShayTime has become more than I ever thought it would. Through ShayTime Features I have consulted after school programs, several non-profits including two prestigious organizations in Colorado, the Colorado Children's Campaign and most recently the Center for African American Health. I have assisted organizations in building their social media audiences by 60% in a little over a year, and brought 50K in revenue through aggressive social media marketing campaigns.

 

Toby and I are currently consulting on the Center for African American Health's Podcast, YouTube Channel and platform. Toby and I are really looking forward to consulting and building with you and your organization!
