Zach Ammon Peterson: Actor, Musician, Teacher, & Storyteller
A master’s-trained actor, professional multi-instrumentalist, and composer who delivers unforgettable storytelling. Whether that means commanding the audition room, rocking your live venue, or bringing your next creative vision to life.
Breathing Life into Characters, Chords, and Scripts
Zach Ammon Peterson’s path to the stage started on a total whim. A high school audition for Into the Woods that completely changed his life. That initial spark led him to a Theatre Arts degree from MacEwan University and ultimately to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where he earned his Master’s in Musical Theatre Performance.
Now based in Glasgow, Zach is a true multi-hyphenate artist, commanding the stage as an actor while working as a professional songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (proficient in piano, guitar, and bass). From earning critical praise for emotionally complex roles like Hedwig to composing original fringe musicals like MOTHERSHIP, Zach’s work is defined by powerful vocals, thought-provoking storytelling, and a genre-bending musical style. Whether he’s bringing a character to life, writing a new score, or playing a live set, his goal remains the same: to create art that makes people laugh, cry, and connect.

The Core of My Craft
Critically Acclaimed Vocals
Backed by a Master’s from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, my voice blends expansive technical range with deep emotional nuance. Reviewers have praised my “rich and strong vocal talents,” with the Calgary Herald highlighting my impressive vocal range and finely calculated stage presence.
Original Musical Storytelling
I don’t just interpret scripts; I write them from the ground up. Whether crafting the libretto, music, and lyrics for full-length musical comedies or staging character-driven productions at the Calgary Fringe Festival, my work focuses on building sophisticated, unforgettable narrative worlds.
Exploring Musical Boundaries
My relationship with music has always been driven by curiosity. Over the years, my sound has naturally evolved through a wide landscape of genres, metal, jazz, and folk, to name a few. I love to push creative boundaries to build something deeply interesting and layered, while keeping the heart of the music grounded, honest, and approachable.
