Jason Collins

Jason Collins has been working professionally in the Puget Sound Region ever since he attended Roosevelt High School, appearing on Stages at The Group Theatre, Seattle Shakespeare Company, Village Theatre, Seattle Children’s Theatre, Tacoma Actors Guild, The Seattle Repertory Theatre, and A Contemporary Theatre. Collins has been fortunate enough to play a huge diversity of roles from Finn; the young, Irish traveler in Into The West, at Seattle Children’s Theatre, to Silvius in As You Like It for The Seattle Shakespeare Company, to Seymour in Little Shop Of Horrors at Village Theater. In addition to live theatre, Collins also works as a voice talent for various local production companies and can be seen as Ralph Peed in the mad-cap independent film Gory, Gory Hallelujah. Collins recently originated the role of Walter Paisley in the new, “Beatnik Musical,” Bucket Of Blood for Ethereal Mutt LTD., and starred as Sean in the world premier of The Wedding Banquet.
