"There's nothing more boring than actors talking about acting." - James Caan
Hello. My name is Jonah, and telling stories is something that has always been important to me. Whether it was hearing my mother teach voice lessons at the family piano, or my father taking me to see Shakespeare, I have always been surrounded by and have seen the power of art done honestly.
I want to make art that reveals the beauty and truth of this world. Art that is created with integrity and performed with joy, counting it all as a gift to be shared.
"Jonah Smith as Macbeth…[gives a] superb performance. Smith begins as a brash, good-humored Macbeth, celebrating his daring on the battlefield with Banquo and scoffing at the weird words and deeds of the witches. We see his shifting countenance as his wife challenges his manhood, his embrace of her ambitions as his own, and the horror he feels after he murders. When he revisits the three witches to learn more from them, Smith conveys a state of mania. His line delivery is impeccable, and his physical bearing on stage is integrated fully with the dialogue. His delivery of the "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" soliloquy–one of the most moving in all of Shakespeare–is spellbinding. Smith's eyes are a great asset to the actor, bright and eager at the start, then acquiring fire until they smolder with glowering rage."
