A little info on JASON PLATT!

JASON PLATT  (DYLAN)

Jason has really become a good friend to me throughout this process.  We share a lot of the same interests and are at very similar places in the arcs of our lives.  Here's Jason in a nutshell...  Jason grew up in Iowa until the age of 13 when his family moved to Durham, NC.... he didn't want to go, but discovered who he was there and became the "kid who could draw" in high school... he also discovered theater his Senior year and began acting... in '92 he moved back to the Quad Cities to be close to family... then he moved to Georgia and finished his degree and now he is and illustrator and Graphic Designer with LinguiSystems... he was going to be a psych major but saw the movie "A Bronx Tale" - with Robert DeNiro, and DeNiro had a line that said, "There's nothing in this world sadder than seeing someone with wasted talent" so... he became an art major.  He has a son named Wyatt who he adores!

He is playing DYLAN (the lead) and, although he's about my age = too old, he has a nice, simple, sensitive way on stage that really helps that character be a bit more sympathetic.  Jason has a passionate rocker vocal and, because of his empathy and understanding of the character and the whole show, delivers the ballads with a focus that I feel will draw the audience into him.  

That's pretty much Jason!  Here's some links to his work.  Check this stuff out!
