Jeff Burleson

Originally from North Dakota, Jeff Burleson now resides in Miami, Florida. He has worked on multiple stages in the Great Plains, from Minneapolis to Albuquerque and is a recognizable face from regional commercials and small-budget movies made in the Texas and Oklahoma. Oklahoma City theater patrons likely recognize Jeff from his roles at Reduxion Theatre, where he portrayed some of Shakespeare's sanest characters like Feste, Grumio, Dogberry and Costard. He also worked throughout in the area, including stints at Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma and the Pollard Theater in Guthrie. Favorite roles from that time include Tom in Fat Pig, Peter in Bug, and Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Upon his arrival in Dallas, Mr. Burleson had the honor of working with the late Jac Alder at Theatre3 in Dallas for two shows, Other Desert Cities and Seminar. Following those successful shows, he worked throughout the area, often at the Contemporary Theater of Dallas and at Circle Theater in Fort Worth. He was part of the multiple award winning show Fellowship: A Musical Parody of The Lord of the Rings, and has been nominated for several other BWW awards. Jeff has also been fortunate enough to work with Michael Serrecchia in a handful of productions on several stages throughout the Metroplex. Favorite roles in Dallas apart from those mentioned above include Eldon Phelps in The Dead Guy and Randle McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Jeff Burleson is a ten-year veteran with the improv troupe Everybody and their Dog, and gained a somewhat notorious, albeit short-lived, celebrity with the blue improv troupe he founded, Stretchin' It. Now in Miami, Mr. Burleson has dipped his toes into the scene, including a production at the Adreienne Arsht Center in Downtown Miami.
