A newcomer to Chicago, Jameson is happy to be working in such a vibrant theatrical community.  Since moving a year ago, Jameson has worked consistently on the stages of the Drury Lane Oakbrook and the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire.  He is originally from the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where he began performing at the age of 10.  He received his BFA in Musical Theatre Performance from the University of Michigan with a minor in Environmental Studies.  Jameson’s work has been seen regionally at North Shore Music Theatre, Pittsburgh CLO, West Virginia Public Theatre, The Black Hills Playhouse in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota, and Capital Playhouse in Olympia, WA. 

 When not onstage, Jameson spends his time playing fingerstyle and folk guitar, picking his banjo, and enjoying the outdoors. He is an avid rock climber, skier, and mountain biker with a passion for the outdoors.
