Jason Laday wins state talent contest
Port Arthur’ s Jason Laday has dedicated his life to dance and in his heart, he knew he wasn’ t second best. The problem was he just couldn’ t prove it … until now.
The Lamar State College Port Arthur Drama major won first place in a statewide talent competition during the recent Texas Educational Theatre Association convention in Houston. It’ s the first time Laday has won first in any competition.
“ Winning awards isn’ t really how I want to define myself,” Laday said.“ But I had all these second place awards and nothing to really say I am as good as I think I am. I guess this is some validation for the hard work I’ ve put into becoming as good a dancer as I can be.”
