2000 Bio
Second Season: Fyedka in Fiddler on the Roof, Oliver in As You Like It and appears in Patience.
Jonathan proudly hails from Bowmanville, Ontario, which birthed his love of village folk, wide open
spaces, farm smells, small stores and big dreams. He
also credits his high school extracurricular drama, in
particular its directors, with fostering his love of
theatre and theatre for the love of it. He took some
classes at the University of Waterloo and managed to
slip away for student matinees at the Stratford
Festival, before taking up studies in Montreal at the
National Theatre School. His professional career began
at the Banff Centre in Reaney's Donnelly trilogy,
where he played a variety of roles. He went "wacky" in
The Complete Works of Willm Shkspr (Abridged) for
almost a year and then went on to the Georgian Theatre
Festival before returning to Stratford. Jonathan was
part of the inaugural season of the Stratford Festival
Conservatory for Classical Theatre Training. Much love
to friends and family. To everyone he says, "Drink
L'chaim to life!"
