The Players



Jeremy Scoggins

Repertory Company

Born in Hartford, KY, Jeremy grew up between the farm and small town life, earned his BS in English from Brescia University in Owensboro and is the father of one boy. He spent five years in the Navy, where he traveled all over the Pacific, he has taught in Daviess County Public Schools, been an armature wrestler, a factory worker, amongst other things and has become quite content as a delivery driver and a bouncer at a local nightclub. He is also an aspiring author, with publications in Open 24 Hours, and several articles and features in the Brescia Broadcast, as well as a graphic artist, and formerly a manager of local rock bands.


In the performing arts, his passion for acting came about in high school drama in such productions as GREASE, WHY DO WE LAUGH (directed by playwright, Stephen Gregg), OLIVER! and many others. He has spent many hours onstage and behind the scenes, in tech, make-up, assistant directing, writing, set design, and set construction. He has performed for Courthouse Players in Hartford as Col. Henry Blake in M*A*S*H (one of his more favorite roles), Theatre Workshop of Owensboro, Mill Race Players (Columbus, IN), and several productions with the Oak Island Theatre Troupe (Owensboro Community College) where he honed his skills under the tutelage of Dr. Julia Ledford who he calls his dramatic mentor and dear friend. Some of his most cherished roles include, Vladimir in WAITING FOR GADOT, Sir Toby in Shakespeare’s TWELFTH NIGHT, Kenickie in GREASE (second production), and Orson in the musical YOUR OWN THING. He says his ultimate role, besides the ones he has already accomplished, is to play Iago in Shakespeare’s OTHELLO. “Once I have mastered the one truly evil character in Shakespearian literature, I have accomplished greatness as an actor,” Jeremy says. He debuted with the Merely Players' production of LIFE IS SHORT and hopes to continue with many other productions in the future.

"As in any form of writing or artistic expression, you draw from what you know," he says, “I have had many experiences in my life and have a million faces to connect them to. There is one quote that sums it all up, in acting and in life, ‘There are no small roles, just small actors.’ William Shakespeare.”
