Jared St. Martin Brown
Producer
Jared's first experiences in theatre arts happened here in Harrison County when he joined the Thespian Troupe at Washington Irving High School. Under Director Lisa Mosca, he had the time of his life working on and off stage. A few years later, after military and college, he landed his dream job of teaching high school English and Theatre in his home county. Jared has worked here at BHS for the past 11 years and he is the sponsor of Thespian Troupe #7549, whose competition plays have received Outstanding Performance honors at the West Virginia State Thespian Festival for the past four years, and have represented our state at the International Thespian Festival three of those years. Nothing in his career makes him prouder than seeing a “theater kid” use his or her talents to enrich the lives of others.
