Aaron Wilton graduated with Honors from Hamilton College with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre. Before leaving, he received the Karen Williams Theatre Prize and a certificate of recognition for “Outstanding Contribution to Hamilton College.” He moved to NYC after graduation and co-created/performed the show Happy Mundanes, which was produced by the NYC International Fringe Festival in 2004. While acting in a touring company out of George Street Playhouse, he was nominated for a Perry Award for Montclair Operetta Club's Footloose (Best Featured Actor). Three years out of school, he landed a contract with Hudson Stage Company that got him his Equity card (which was originally mentioned in an article from Backstage and reprinted here!). He feels very lucky to have worked with and learned from some astronomically talented actors, directors and writers (see my extended resumé for more details). He currently bounces between the coasts, wherever the job takes him.
Dan Pine's review of Brighton Beach Memoirs for the Jewish News Weekly:
"As brother Stanley, Aaron Wilton whips up a tightly coiled pugnacity, providing a perfect foil to Eugene’s benign wit. A scene in which Stanley shares with his kid brother the secrets of sex is easily the play’s funniest, thanks to the actors’ Abbott-and-Costello-like delivery."
Edward Buroughs's review of After All for the Journal News:
"Aaron Wilton, who stole the spotlight as a geeky teenager in Hudson Stage's fall production of Kimberly Akimbo, delivers another solid performance as the robotic Frank. Showing increasing fascination and intensity, Wilton makes Frank both highly sympathetic and borderline scary, like a bomb that could explode with one more stimulation."
Riley MacLeod's review of Happy Mundanes for NYTheatre.com:
"Tyler and Wilton have an excellent, unstated chemistry between them. They communicate superbly with small facial expressions and gestures…Their touch is electric, both together and with the audience. They draw you into their world—sort of like your world, if it was ghost-written by the Marx Brothers—and their exploration spreads out into all the mundane facets of human existence…Tyler and Wilton make the unbelievable expected and turn the usual on its head."
