Jason Matthews is the head writer for the award-winning humor site TheJay.com .
Jason is also an accomplished playwright. Through the Ruskin Group Theatre and their showcase "Café Plays", Jason has written and produced 23 one-act plays. His work has also been produced in several independent festivals, including the Secret Rose Theatre’s Play-A-Thon 2006, Theatre Limina's Summer Shorts Festival (finalist, bitches!) and the W.E.T. One Act Festival . When he’s not balking at the idea of writing a play longer than twelve pages, Jason can be found online, writing scathing celebrity rebukes, special ordering discontinued jelly bean flavors (Champagne Punch!), and obsessively studying box office returns and IMDB resume pages. Go ahead, try and stump him at “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon", it’s not gonna happen.
Prior to his work online and in theatre, Jason was the Editor-in-Chief of the popular Santa Barbara-based arts magazine CampusPOINT. Jason has a Bachelor’s Degree in Film Studies from UC Santa Barbara, and currently resides in the luxurious San Fernando Valley.
And yes, he is proud to represent the “818".
NOTE: I'm also officially a Junior Wine Executive, as credentialed by Ian Blackburn of LearnAboutWine.com.
