Biography of Stevie Jay

Stevie Jay's experience with solo performance began in high school when he experimented in his drama class, combining monologues, music, poetry, and creative movement into cohesive, hour-long theatrical presentations. http://www.steviejay3.com/videos.htm He continued his training in New York City at The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where he also received private coaching from Sandra Seacat. Monologue writing has always been his mainstay, and in 1998, Stevie was invited to create a full-length, one-man play for the Live Arts Performance Center in Charlottesville, Virginia, (home of Monticello, The University of Virginia, and the ghost of Thomas Jefferson) giving birth to his critically-acclaimed, multi-chakra extravaganza: "Life Love Sex Death…and other works in progress." http://www.steviejay3.com/pr-cville2.htm This work was developed and honed over a period of 5 years in Charlottesville, showcased twice at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and enjoyed a month-long engagement at the Finborough Theatre for its London debut. http://www.steviejay3.com/pi-timeout.htm The show continues to thrive and shift, and is currently touring progressive venues and universities throughout the United States and abroad. http://www.indiana.edu/~kisiss/sexnews2april1105.htm Stevie Jay is also a photographer, watercolorist, songwriter, arranger, producer, and editor, and serves as a consultant for fellow artists, writers, musicians, and solo performers.
