About

J. Jake Thomas

Get To Know Me

I am a singer, actor, and dancer born and raised in Watertown, NY. I started performing when I was in 6th grade when I starred as Deputy Barney in “The Phantom of the Music Room” and have been hooked ever since.

 

I am drawn to theatre because of its uniting nature. Audience members and performers alike are able to leave behind their problems for two hours and find connections in someone else’s story. This is a profound type of empathy that I have discovered through performance. I am a firm believer that as I have grown as an artist, I have also grown as a person. Growing up, theatre was my safe space and now my passion is creating this for others. My work is strongly motivated by this goal.

 

Some of my favorite credits include the Wizard of Oz (Geva Theatre Center), Cinderella (Geva Theatre Center), and Curse of the Starving Class (Nazareth University).

 

When I’m not performing, you can find me watching RuPaul’s Drag Race, listening to Beyonce’s Renaissance, exploring nature, or reading a good book. I am currently reading Sissy by Jacob Tobia.
