Jacob Romeo, was raised in the rolling Ohio hills and lives nestled in the Kentucky Bluegrass. Romeo believes in the power of the ensemble to tell a story – a truth that goes back to his childhood as one of ten siblings putting on mini-plays as an ensemble at family reunions. Romeo graduated in 2025 with his M.F.A. in Acting from UCF with a thesis that examines how social coffee drinking rituals intersect with the fabric of the theatrical ensemble. In the rehearsal room, Romeo works with an eye towards collaboration and how each piece of the story fit together in harmony. In addition to his multifaceted training as an actor and singer, Romeo enjoys developing his skill at playing the harmonica. As one artist among many, Romeo believes in the importance of the ensemble in any form of performance.

Romeo is currently touring the nation in Box Out Bullying! a dynamic two-man troupe created by Jeremy Rubenstein performing in school assemblies every week. When not travelling to the next gig, Romeo, his wife Alison, and their two cats live among friends and the community of artists in Lexington, Kentucky. Since getting his B.A. in Theatre from Berea College, he has lived and worked in Lexington for the better part of six years, but carries a piece from all his travels within him.
