Jeremy Kahn

Jeremy is a native of Oakland California, where he was lucky to grow up around plenty of sunshine and open-minded people. He attended public schools and took classes at American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco.At the age of 18 Jeremy moved to Chicago to attend the Theatre School at DePaul University and graduated in 2009 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Acting. He signed with Aria Talent (the acting division of Ford Models) and began auditioning for theatre, film, television and commercial work in Chicago that spring.In 2010, Jeremy played Stevie in Theatre Mir's production of Beautiful City at the DCA Storefront.

That summer Theatre Mir produced the semi autobiographical episodical meta-thriller Bang BANG Shoot. Jeremy composed the score for five of the episodes and played the character "Jeremy." He was absent for most of the shooting that summer when he returned to the bay area for a 12-week run of The Fantasticks at the San Francisco Playhouse.In the spring of 2011 Jeremy played Simon in Mir's very successful Caucasian Chalk Circle directed by Jonathan Berry.Jeremy left Chicago in June to return to the bay area again for the west-coast premiere of Tigers Be Still at the San Francisco Playhouse.

The play is really weird.
