James Artist

This is when I was young and naive

I’m a seasoned theater pro with a strong track record in acting, directing, and teaching. After graduating from Rutgers’ prestigious Mason Gross School of the Arts, I honed my comedy skills with the legendary The Groundlings in NYC. My diverse experience includes starring in indie films, industrial projects, and captivating stage productions throughout Vermont. I’ve also directed several plays and taught comedy improv workshops, sharing my passion with aspiring artists. A dedicated mentor, I’ve guided countless young actors through nine middle school musicals and provided one-on-one mentorship.
