Playwright / Actor / Director / Musician

Jason Stuart is a multi-talented artist. Jason began his collegiate studies at Collin and received his Bachelor’s degree from Texas Wesleyan University. He now works professionally as an actor, director, playwright, composer and musician. Jason has worked extensively with Audacity Productions; on such projects as Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, Tangram (which Jason wrote and starred in), and Slick Kadmon vs. God – which was invited to perform at the New York International Fringe Festival. Jason directed that production. As an actor, he has worked on pieces as wide-ranging as the controversial God’s Country, the musical A New Brain, and the experimental performance-art project The Monologuist. Jason’s original play, Through a Glass Onion, won the 2000 National Student Playwriting competition of the American College Theater Festival, and was published by Dramatic Publishing Company. The play premiered at Quad C Theatre, co-starring two future Hall-of-Fame inductees, Meredith McCoy and Laura Bailey. One of Jason's monologues from Through a Glass Onion was subsequently published in the annual Smith and Kraus monologue anthology, "Best Women's Stage Monologues of 2001." That book also contains monologues by Nicky Silver, Jane Martin, Kenneth Lonnergan, and Horton Foote! Jason is also an accomplished singer and bass player. He performed incidental music for the Quad C Theatre production of Julius Caesar, and can be seen performing in New York's Central Park! His musical play, Busker, was recently work-shopped at the Lincoln Center Directors Lab. His latest play - Washing Machine - opened to rave reviews.
