jacob horn

repertory player - writer

Jacob is so excited to be writing, directing, and performing with MISC. He started improvising in high school, switched to a cappella in college, and then moved to NYC, where improv came back with a vengeance. His tendency to harmonize, syllabize, or beatbox to any music whatsoever (a residual effect of a cappella) continues to make him an unpopular guest at parties. Jacob has studied improv and musical improv at the Magnet, UCB, and elsewhere. You can catch his Musical Megawatt team Public Pool on Tuesdays at the Magnet Theater. He sends his thanks to MISC's awesome writers, actors, and fearless leader Mikki for everything they do.
