Jonathan Birkbeck
PEN PORTRAIT:
Jon started acting in year 6 of Knowle Park Junior School. They did productions
of Oliver (Artful Dodger) and the Pied Piper (the Pied Piper). He enjoyed both
of these roles. At the end of year 6 he went to St Mary Redcliffe and was in a
musical called Star Force Seven. Jon only had a small role but it was good for
year 7! In year 8 he joined The Ecumaniacs which was great, now he could
properly perform in front of people.
When Jon was 13, his first panto was Cinderella in which he played three people
- the Herald, the Footman and an annoying child. He loved every bit of being in
Cinderella: it's what he was made to do!
At age 14 Jon was in the production of Aladdin. He hopes to be in loads more
pantomimes and he feels he will get better characters when he is taller! Jon
loves acting and wants to be an actor when he grows up.
