Jacob Sanders has been in theater for over 13 years, and it’s a good thing. It’s definitely good for Sanders. He needs a creative outlet. It’s also definitely good Roswell Community Little Theatre (RCLT.) We need his creative talent. There’s no shortage of talent where Sanders is concerned. Sanders combines wit, quick thinking, and a genuine fondness for people. He truly delights in being on stage and making people laugh. A natural comedian, Sanders has a sharp wit, creative vision and knowledge that has grown steadily since his early days in Missoula Children’s Theater. In short, he’s a natural for theater and an exceptional talent at improvisation.
Since Jacob learned the dramatic arts at an early age, he speaks of the joy it has given him to be on stage and learn with his siblings. He particularly enjoyed performing in The Odyssey with his younger and older brother.
Recently, he was cast in a lead role in the short comedy version of 39 Steps, performed in partnership between Roswell Community Little Theatre and The Liberty The production was smart, funny, and it gave the audience a great evening. Jacob played his role masterfully and his love of theater showed through in every scene.
Jacob’s enjoyment of drama and the dramatic arts is rooted in his love for people. He wants to make people happy. He says that if he can make people laugh and enjoy themselves while he is on stage then he has done his job. Jacob is charming in person, but once he is on-stage, that charm is magnified. He is a delightful performer and a great addition to any cast. He has a fabulous team spirit and is fearless in enacting improv games.
Sanders’ next role is in Every Christmas Story Ever Told, a comedy by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald, John K. Alvarez. Sanders performs alongside Michael Bozeman and Keaton Hartwell. They make for a fabulous team in this crazy whirlwind of Christmas stories. All three actors are gifted in physical comedy and in timing and delivery. As the threesome decide not to yet again perform the Charles Dicken’s classic, they storm through every Christmas story they can think of and throw a few international Christmas traditions into the mix.

Tickets are available through The Liberty’s website. Come join us for a great evening of Christmas fun on December 7, 2023 at 6:00 p.m.
