We are thrilled to honor Fernando Ayres✨
Everyone loves Fernando oni_ayres 

Fernando first walked into JCTC and said he wanted to meet “whoever was in charge.” He lived nearby, dreamed of becoming an actor, and wanted to learn everything “theatre.” He had just one night to learn tech and he did. That one night turned into years of dedication, growth, and extraordinary commitment to JCTC. 

Today, every artist who has worked with Fernando from international festival guests to local performers say the same thing: there is absolutely nothing Fernando can’t do.

Jersey City Theater Center has been the longest job Fernando has ever been part of, and we are so proud to call him family. Through JCTC, he has teched more than 30 shows and expressed himself across multiple disciplines: acting, theater tech, stage management, carpentry, puppetry, directing his own projects, stand-up, visual art, and more. He has grown into a true multi-hyphenate artist.

Fernando shares that JCTC opened doors to multiple opportunities in his life. He met incredible, multi-talented individuals with big dreams who pushed him to reach his own goals. Now he continues forward — pursuing acting, focusing on video game design, and building his own business — carrying with him the inspiration and motivation reignited through his journey with us.

Fernando, thank you for your heart, your work ethic, your humility, and your unstoppable spirit. We are beyond proud to honor you and celebrate all that you are — and all that is still ahead.
