Murder at the Howard Johnson's

Sex... Murder... Self-help...  What more could you ask of life?

Jayston's last performance at Canyon Moon was in the acclaimed A Lion in Winter.  He also co-starred in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.  A member of the Laughs on the Rocks improvisational comedy troupe, he has also appeared in many East Coast shows including Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar.
