Her Winthrop credits include Romeo in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Cassius/Calpurnia in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Love in Everybody, as well as featured dance roles in the Fall, Spring, and Junior Dance Showcases.

Grayson is thrilled to be back, and can’t wait to help make it an amazing experience like she had as a camper!

Noah Jones

Noah began as a student in the KJPAS camps at the ripe age of six years old, and remained until he graduated in 2022. When he was seven, Noah was cast as Chip in the Broadway national tour of Beauty and the Beast and spent a year and a half touring to 80 cities across North America. Noah continued to work professionally as an actor throughout his childhood, performing in shows, as well as doing film, television commercials and print work. Noah recently completed his second year at York University in Toronto as a Linguistics major. He is excited to return to KJPAS on the other side of the table.
