About Jason Schmidt:
Jason recently made his Broadway debut with The Outsiders (Sodapop Curtis). TV: “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies,” “FBI: Most Wanted,” “The Chair. Regional Theater: Cinderella (Theater Under the Stars), The Outsiders (La Jolla Playhouse). Jason is a singer/songwriter who releases music on all platforms. He studied at Carnegie Mellon.

A natural-born performer, Jason got his start in acting at just nine years old when he joined the cast of The Hobbit The Musical at his community theatre in Chicago. He instantly fell in love with being on stage and continued to act within his community theatre whilst also prioritizing his studies. Upon high school graduation, Jason began to audition for college programs and was accepted into the world renowned theatre program at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh. His formal training taught him how to be a resourceful actor but more importantly how to look at the world as an artist. It was there, inspired by those around him, that he began to write music and dance, which has now become equally as important to him as acting, making him a multi-hyphenate and triple-threat talent. When Jason is not on set, he can be found in the studio, honing his craft as an independent artist. He is a singer-songwriter and is consistently releasing music across all music platforms, and is currently working on an album. In addition to promoting his various music and acting projects across his social media, Jason is also passionate about using his platform to advocate for mental health.
