Hello, hello! I figured I would give all of you a little background on myself, being a new contributor and all. My name is Jesse, I’m 26 years old and currently reside in the booming metropolis of Raleigh, North Carolina. I was born and spent the first 13 years of my life in Gainesville, Florida; I relocated to North Carolina in 1997. I went to college in the mountains of North Carolina, where I majored in Theatre Performance with a minor in Dance (this degree has been used very rarely…). I spend my days doing a “job that pays the bills” while I spend my nights performing in – and sometimes directing – theatre around Raleigh and the surrounding burbs. Since my return to the area in 2005, I’ve been in over 10 productions, like Titus Andronicus, Beautiful Thing, columbinus, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, The Santaland Diaries, A Midsummer-Night’s Dream and The Crucible, just to name a few.
So, Jesse, are you dating anyone?
Well, yes, actually. I’ve been dating the same person since Feb 15, 2008. Going on two years! I love him very much and we will soon be relocating up to Boston, MA, so he can attend graduate school and I can refocus my life and hopefully have a career change that will allow me to work for a theatre company in the greater Boston area.
What’s your life goal?
Well, ultimately I’d like to be able to live off of my theatre work, whether it be by performing, directing, or just working for a theatre. If theatre could be my morning, noon, and night…that would be most excellent.
I’m thrilled to be a part of QueerVoice.net (big thanks, Zach!) and I hope I entertain you all as much as I entertain myself! If you have any thoughts, questions, quandaries or concerns, feel free to shoot me an email! You can reach me at: Jesse@QueerVoice.net
XOXO,
Jesse
