Jacob Alexander is a working non-union actor, director, producer, and casting associate in Chicago who seeks to tell inspiring stories with his bright, collaborative spirit.

He is a 2023 graduate of North Central College in Naperville, IL with a dual degree in Acting & Musical Theatre. While there, he appeared in various mainstage productions such as Tiny Beautiful Things, Into the Woods, How I Learned to Drive, and the collegiate premiere of the musical Renascence.

Offstage, you’ll likely find Jacob still at the theatre! He is a Box Office Associate at Writers Theatre in Glencoe and Oil Lamp Theater in Glenview. He enjoys taking walks in 65+ degree weather, watching crime shows (current favorite is High Potential), and spending time with his family in his happy place, the upper peninsula of Michigan.
