Jacob Theatre & Academy

The Jacob Theatre & Academy is a new performing arts institution grounded in professional excellence and educational innovation. As a DBA of The Jacob Ball Wish Fund, the Academy provides theatrical training, performance opportunities, and arts access to students and community members of all ages and abilities. The Academy builds on an already thriving tradition of inclusive, donation-based performances — including the Wish Fund’s eleven-year history of producing a full-scale, Broadway-style musical each fall to raise money for special needs students. The Jacob Theatre & Academy will continue producing this annual show as part of its mission to unite artistry with purpose.
