I'M JAKE - A NEW YORK BASED ACTOR CURRENTLY FINISHING MY SENIOR YEAR IN THE B.F.A. MUSICAL THEATRE PROGRAM AT PENN STATE.
ORIGINALLY FROM PITTSBURGH, PA I ATTENDED THE PITTSBURGH CLO ACADEMY. IN MY TIME AT CLO I WAS AWARDED THE 2017 GENE KELLY AWARD FOR BEST ACTOR WHERE I THEN MOVED ON TO BECOME A JIMMY AWARD NOMINEE FOR PLAYING JOSEPH IN JOSEPH AND THE TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT.
REGIONALLY I'VE WORKED ON A SERIES OF CLASSICS AND NEW WORKS SUCH AS NEWSIES AT THE NEW LONDON BARN PLAYHOUSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, THE LAST DAY WRITTEN BY MIKE REID AND SARAH SCHLESINGER AND THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS AT TOTEM POLE PLAYHOUSE.
I'M LIVING THE DREAM WHEN I AM SINGING ALONG AND PLAYING THE PIANO WITH MY FRIENDS AND A HAND-FULL OF CHEEZ-ITS!
