"One of the best qualities that we saw in Jacob is that as an artist he operates from a place of kindness and curiosity. He is a young professional who is dedicated and ambitious, but his innate love for the theatre comes through at the core of everything he does. It is his character and his true care for the work that makes him a pleasure to have on a project."
~ Mentors Lonny Price and Matt Cowart
