As I wrote in the "Swampy" post within this very blog (April 2019) "All of his summers since 2011 have been spent around the Lakewood Theater. He was part of several Young Performers/Teen, Tech & Tour performances, and has now also appeared in nearly a dozen main stage productions. Additionally he ushers regularly, and sometimes works backstage. He has acted, directed and stage managed with/at/for several other companies as well, but it is clear that Lakewood is his favorite and there's no place he'd rather be.[other than Salamanca Spain perhaps] He intends to be a part of the Lakewood community for a long, long, very long time indeed."
This is my son Jakob. (So perhaps I may seem biased about him being my favorite.)
He's here again for another season; ushering and being a Shanty Man, as well as recently adding spotlight operator for Bullshot McCrummond to his Lakewood list of experiances. This week he'll be on the stage again, bringing another charector to life in his portrayal of Leo, a mob boss's son in Scapino.
The Lakewood Theater website describes the show as follows: "In this hilarious update of Moliere’s classic farce, disgraced lawyer Scapino returns to Naples, Florida after serving jail time for helping a mob family. Though Scapino tries to put his past behind him, family pressure, old grudges, and the allure of new love all conspire to lead him back into trouble. Marx brothers meet the Three Stooges."
Come see Jakob and his other incredible cast mates (including our Perkins House artist in residence, Tucker Atwood) in this production that runs August 26th - September 4th (no performances on Monday or Tuesday) Tickets can be purchased online by clicking here, at the box office during open hours, or by calling 474- 7176
