About Tyler
Hello, I am Tyler Jung, and I am from Cottage Grove, Wisconsin! I grew up in Yorktown, Virginia, but Wisconsin is where I consider home.
I grew up playing soccer and a large variety video games, but once I was told to audition for the spring musical in sixth grade, I found another hobby I could enjoy while spending a lot of time with friends! I continued to do the musicals through high school, which then moved me to audition for the BFA Musical Theatre program at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point in 2019!
(Interesting Fact: I did not audition for the program
until two weeks after the schoolyear started. I got
lucky to say the least...)
While in school I, very slowly, but surely, began to
really understand what I was going to school for, and it has been an exciting journey of growth and discovery! For our Spring 2021 production of The Melody Lingers On (an Irving Berlin revue) I had the opportunity to student-choreograph a couple numbers, which ended up spiraling into a deep desire to learn more about this other side of theatre. I then was graciously given opportunities to practice those skills over the next four semesters by choreographing other mainstage productions.
Video games are still a huge part of my life! I deeply love Red Dead Redemption 2, and League of Legends, and I have soft spot for FIFA 22, but I have caught onto other hobbies as well. I enjoy learning about longevity and body connectivity. Strength training and maximizing the body's potential really interest me, though I am not as committed to the practices as the lifestyle demands...
I found a love for painting that I wish I could indulge in more. I hope you enjoy the pictures of the paintings.
I am currently with the National Tour of Mean Girls in the ensemble and understudying Aaron Samuels and Kevin G!
