Bio – Jay Wilson

A lifetime in theatre both as actor and Arts Administrator. Favourite roles include The Witch, Hansel & Gretel; Freida Heitz, The Last Resort (by Norm Foster & Leslie Arden); and Bert McNabb, Fair Play (by Dan Needles). A project with Guelph Museum’s Backyard Theatre program led to “JayWalking Guelph”, storytelling walking tours featuring true tales of M**der, scandal and unusual history. Guests visit local limestone architecture and unique locations while Jay recites newspaper accounts, journal entries and 19th century poetry. Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears, is not a walking tour but a one man show and a personal favourite of Jay’s. Watch for JayWalking Alton coming 2024 in partnership with the Alton Mill Arts Centre.
