HEY THERE, I'M JAKE KLINE!
From a young age, I’ve had a passion for performing. My parents, a music teacher, and a community actor, played a crucial role in nurturing this passion. They recognized my love for the arts early on and made the decision any supportive parent would make – sent me to an arts high school. High school was a whirlwind of experiences, marked by annual musical performances and ventures into musicals beyond the school walls. These early adventures laid the foundation for my journey to Indiana University, where I embarked on their BFA Musical Theatre Program.

After graduating in May of 2024, I am still filled with excitement and anticipation. The stage has been my canvas, and I am eager to showcase to the world what this small-state goofball has to offer. Join me on this thrilling ride as I step into the spotlight, armed with a passion for storytelling, a love for music, and a mission to spread joy through the art of performance. Get ready to witness the next chapter in the journey of a musical theatre enthusiast ready to make the world a brighter, more entertaining place!

Other Interests
In December 2024, I picked up a crochet hook for the very first time and quickly discovered a new creative passion. What began as a simple hobby has grown into a thriving small business where I design, create, and sell handmade amigurumi (stuffed animals) as well as custom orders tailored to individual requests. Crochet has become an incredible outlet for my imagination, allowing me to translate creativity into something tangible and heartfelt. Every finished product feels like a small work of art, crafted with care, patience, and a great source of validation!
After graduating college with my BFA in Musical Theatre, I was fortunate enough to be offered my first choreography opportunity: Ride the Cyclone. That experience sparked a deep love for movement storytelling, shaping emotion, rhythm, and narrative through dance. Since then, I’ve been honored to choreograph additional productions, bringing my artistic training and passion to the stage. Every project invites me to merge technique with imagination, helping performers discover confidence, connection, and joy in their movement, while also inspiring me to push past my comfort zone and experiment with new ways to express character through dance.
