Break, written by J. Stephen Brantley, directed by Jonathan Warman and featuring Hunter Gilmore and Jason Alan Griffin, has already enjoyed a world premiere at Universalists Theater Company's First Annual Winter Theater Festival, in Provincetown, MA, January 2008, and a revival in NYC at Emerging Artists Theater's "Spring 2008 EATFest." Now, Break is going to be coupled with another J. Stephen Brantley play called Struck and performed together as part of the New Orleans Fringe Theatre Festival. Festival dates are Nov 13, 14, 15 and 16. Click here for festival website.
Jason will be performing in a festival of short plays called STRESS AND THE CITY. The venue has yet to be determined but the dates are January 22, 23, 24 and 25 at 8PM somewhere in New York City. More details as it develops.
Also watch for Jason in the upcoming Wings production of George Barthel's "Alley of Masks" about a high society man who stumbles across a gang of New York City street-teens in 1877.
Although Jason has played many wonderful human roles, he is most proud of his growing menagerie of animals. He has appeared as a lab mouse, a tortoise, a monkey, a “memorable duck” (New York Times) in Finnegans Wake, a scorpion in The Quest of Gilgamesh, a cat in Dylan Thomas’ Under Milk Wood, a monkey in David Ives’ Words, Words, Words a demon lizard in Little Boy (the epic rock fable) a white stag in C. S. Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and, most recently as a glittery naked elephant in Duncan Pflaster's epic faerie tale for adults, Prince Trevor Amongst the Elephants.
Jason has played only human characters in films, in print and on television. Notable films include Tomorrow Never Comes (Heavylight Digital Award for Best Picture 2002) and Simple Revenge (Grand Jury Prize Winner at Atlantic City Film Festival 2003). Jason’s favorite film role to date has been Frank Norwither in the short film noir The Case. He has appeared in many commercials, including L.L. Bean, Weight Watchers, Elderplan and Avaya cell phones, and has appeared on All My Children, One Life to Live, 100 Centre Street, Ed, and most recently, 30 Rock.
