Jacob Hammerman
Drama Instructor

I graduated from POB JFK HS (Plainview, New York) in 2021. While in High School, I was cast in lead roles in their productions such as Mama Mia and Newsies. In addition, I participated in two accapella groups as well as the choir wherein I maintained leadership positions. I have also had parts in neighborhood theatre such as Cultural Arts Playhouse. My passion for theatre developed in high school, and I knew that I wanted to advance my training while in college. Presently, I am a rising junior at Temple University in their BFA musical theatre program. This fall, I look forward to participating in their main stage production of Big Fish. I also have experience working with children and HS students. I have composed and taught music of a variety of genres and have taken 4 years of music theory. I have also given voice lessons and I am a proficient sight reader. I also have worked backstage on various operas and musicals. I was a section advisor in choir, mentored/instructed our elementary age "Newsies" and worked in a day camp during the summer of 2021.
