Jackson Wecker found an interest in acting in high school where he decided to make it his life by following it up in university at CQCM Mackay. During his tertiary education he was exposed to the full scale of musical theatre when playing Nanki Poo in ‘The Mikado’ in his first year. Since then he’s graduated with a Bachelor of Theatre specialisation in Drama in 2020 assuming numerous roles with priority in all acting, singing, dancing and tech. He was awarded the ‘Most promising voice’ award in his third year by Paul Tabone and has worked multiple performing jobs outside of Uni. While furthering his performance career, Jackson is excited to have found his place in the MAD Squad teaching and inspiring the future generations to find their place on the stage.
