Jason McCullough
Jason McCullough
Benvolio, Capulet
Jason was always a class clown in school, and told by friends and family members to go into acting. In his final year of high school he was finally bitten by ‘the bug’. Jay was a singing, dancing, and sword fighting Musketeer in the schools play. Since then he is very proud to be an original member of the M.S.T.C., and has, toured Canada, been to both oceans and done over 350 shows with M.S.T.C. Jay’s greatest pride though is performing for those few students in every audience who (like he did when he was a kid) look up at the show and say; "I wanna do that!". He has had the greatest pleasure to work with a few of those students who have gone to theatre school and joined us on tour. This year celebrates a great anniversary for M.S.T.C. and Jay is proud to have been there from the beginning to now.
