Meet our Cast: Jacob Sloan

… in the Ensemble and the role of the Superintendent…

Hi Jacob!  Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk with us.  Tell us about past SDSU productions you’ve been involved in or any other San Diego-area projects that we might know you from.

My past SDSU productions include Les mis, Les mis, and Les mis. Around the area, I have performed as Jack in a production of Into the Woods with the 413 project. 

So, what originally made you choose to participate in musical theatre?

I'm in musical theatre because my sole purpose in life is to entertain people. My talents include singing and acting, so musical theatre is the right choice for me.

What is one thing that you love about Drowsy?

One thing I love about Drowsy is Randall. 

What are some unique challenges of your role?

My role of the superintendent is challenging because I'm basically the person who takes people deeper into the magic of the show. While the audience is into the story of The Drowsy Chaperone, I come in to remind them that the Man in the Chair has a story as well. 

What is one thing that audience members should know before coming to see the show?

Before you come see the show, just know that even though it's Prohibition you can still be drowsy!
