Jake Runeckles is a theatre maker, musician, and advocate for positive change. He began training in classical piano when he was 4 years old, and has happily picked up many instruments since then. As a teenager, he found a love for musicals, and in pursuit of a dream to perform for a living, he trained at George Brown Theatre School, and the Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre. In addition to acting, he has worked as a playwright, as a producer, and as a musician for companies such as Cahoots Theatre, Clay and Paper Theatre, and Theatre by the Bay. In 2018, Jake joined the Stratford Festival Company. Selected acting credits include The Neverending Story, Henry VIII (Stratford Festival); I and You (Outlook Theatre); The Secret Garden (Young People’s Theatre); Animal Nature (Clay and Paper Theatre).
Of late, Jake has been delving deeply into jazz piano, and coding, with a focus on web development. He dreams of teaching every theatre artist how to build their own website from scratch.
