Jason Bensen
ACT, Canberra
Age : 30
Jason, 26, values versatility both on and off stage, and admits some similarity to his character Leo in their yearning for the magic of showbiz from behind the desk in a respectable profession.
Jason graduated with a Bachelor of Music from Adelaide Uni in 2013.
A well-rounded performer, his experience on stage includes choral work with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and roles in opera and music theatre.
He scored leading roles in local productions of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (2015), Guys and Dolls (2015) and Catch Me If You Can (2016).
After several years working in Adelaide in music teaching, choral directing and promotional entertainment, he moved to France in 2016 to complete a double master of international business, before moving back to Australia to begin his current job at the Embassy of France. This is his theatre debut in Canberra.
