Jonathan Smith is a
teacher, performer, composer, and leader from the Central Wisconsin area. He
received a BA in Music from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in
December of 2015. Since age fifteen, he has been called upon to lead groups of
people in children's theater, community theater, and church music settings. He
has previously been in the role of Praise Band Director at St. Paul's United
Church of Christ in Wausau, WI, and at Trinity Lutheran Church in Stevens
Point, WI. He has vocal directed 16 theatrical productions, usually as Vocal
Director. He has been recently nominated for a Tommy award for Outstanding
Vocal Direction for "Spamalot" at Marshfield High School. In addition
to his work as a leader, he has taught many students how to sing through
private voice lessons at various schools in Central Wisconsin.
As a performer, he has
performed for over 25 operatic and musical theater productions and over 60
weddings and special events. Through the years of being involved theatrically,
his passion for acting and directing shows turned to writing musicals meant to
be performed by young actors. His first musical, DMV The Musical, received a
grant from UW-Stevens Point and was also performed in the New Works Theatre
Festival. It is now published on mmusicals.com and
is available for future performances.
He is very excited to
be working in his new role as Director of Music for Chain of Lakes Church! He
is available for private music lessons also at Chain of Lakes Church for a
special rate for church members. He is also available as an instructor at Spark
Music Studio in Osseo, and St. Paul School of Music in West St. Paul.
