During his time in “Mormon,” JJ also was a part of the developmental workshops of the new musical “BLISS.” In February 2020 he performed in the “BLISS” World Premiere at The 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle, and is currently working with them developing the show to come to NYC.

He’s performed all over the country at regional theatres including The Rev, The Muny, Pittsburgh CLO, Bay Street Theatre, Artpark, Grandstreet Theatre; he’ll also be performing upcoming this year at Cape Playhouse and Flat Rock Playhouse. In addition to performing, JJ teaches workshops around the country and his own dance classes in the city called Jazzing With JJ, and coaches regularly with The Broadway Collective’s virtual programs.
