ARTIST BIO

Jake Hart is an actor and performer who has worked all across the country onstage, offstage, in sound studios, onscreen, in the classroom, and once in the street. If dropped naked in the woods with only a buck knife, Mr. Hart is confident he could build and operate anything from an SPT 9 to a small LORT C theater. He would, of course, then be in need of grant writers and an Executive Director.

Mr. Hart wants to work with you to tell stories that matter every day and in every way. Even if you don't yet know what he can do for you, please call him immediately and he can help you figure out what that might be.
