I'M JAKE - A NEW YORK BASED ACTOR AND ALUMNI OF 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. 

CURRENTLY YOU CAN CATCH ME IN THE TONY WINNING REVIVAL OF RAGTIME ON BROADWAY!

I WAS RECENTLY SEEN AS BOQ IN WICKED ON BROADWAY AND AS FRANKIE EPPS IN PARADE ON BROADWAY
WHERE I RECEIVED A GRAMMY NOMINATION AS A PRINCIPLE VOCALIST ON A MUICAL THEATRE ALBUM. 

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS IN THE WORLD IS NEW WORKS. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HELP DEVELOP AND HANDFUL OF NEW MUSICALS SOON TO HAVE A LIFE ON THE STAGE. THESE INCLUDE ALICE IN NEVERLAND, WILD CHILD, TEN BRAVE SECONDS, AND DIRTY LITTLE SECRET. 

I'M LIVING THE DREAM WHEN I AM SINGING ALONG AND PLAYING THE PIANO WITH MY FRIENDS AND A HAND-FULL OF CHEEZ-ITS!
