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.” |
