Jay Newlon

Jay Newlon, originally a BFA candidate in Acting at the University of Tennessee (Clarence Brown Equity Theater), transferred his energies to dance and studied under such luminaries as Eric Hawkins, Murray Louis, Nanette Charisse, and Hector Zaraspe in New York. He was an apprentice with the International Ballet of Caracas and performed in Boston with Jassin' (Jeannette Neil), the Danny Sloan Dance Company, Bay State Ballet, and the Opera Company of Boston. After a long hiatus, his recent engagements include performances with the Boston Dance Company, the Academy of Ballet Arts, and featured roles in the Northern Ballet Theater's "Nutcracker".

Returning to his theatre roots, he has performed with CP in Chicago as Fred Casely, Twelfth Night as Antonio, The Importance of Being Ernest as Algernon; under the auspices of The Town Cow as Nathaniel Hawthorn in Two Tales, the Soldier in L’Histoire de Soldat, Philip in The Life and Death of King John, and Hans in Bacchus; with Actors Singers as Magaldi in Evita.

All this has been made possible with the loving support of his wonderful wife Lynne and beautiful children Ali and Max.
