Jay Nelson

Picture
Jay Nelson is an accidental artist. With no experience, but inspired by a personal tragedy, Jay first set foot on stage in 2013, and has since caught the acting bug. Jay enjoys the opportunity to contribute to and learn from local artists. Jay has performed in several Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre productions (The Nerd, It’s A Wonderful Life, Peter and the Star Catcher, 1940’s Radio Hour, and more), two Theatre B productions (33 Variations, Marjorie Prime), and a Tin Roof Theatre show (Plaza Suite), several independent theatre productions, and a movie. By day Jay is a commercial realtor at Archer Commercial Realty, and in his spare time enjoys baseball, motorcycles, and grilling with his wife Kristi. Maybe there is an accidental artist in you? Thank you for supporting local art and artists.

Linka is eager to share the product of the creativity and dedication of this director and cast.
