I'M JAKE - A NEW YORK BASED ACTOR AND RECENT GRAD FROM PENN STATE'S B.F.A MUSICAL THEATRE PROGRAM. 

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. 

I AM CURRENTLY PLAYING FRANKIE EPPS IN PARADE ON BROADWAY.

I WAS RECENTLY SEEN ON TOUR WITH WICKED AS BOQ.
I ALSO WAS ON THE ROAD AS THE MALE TUMBLER TRACK IN THE ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE 1ST NATIONAL TOUR.

REGIONALLY I'VE WORKED ON A SERIES OF CLASSICS AND NEW WORKS SUCH AS NEWSIES AT THE NEW LONDON BARN PLAYHOUSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WRITING KEVIN TAYLOR AT MEADOW BROOK THEATRE, 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!
