The role is rendered with sensitivity and depth by the inimitable Jake Lipman.
Dorian Palumbo, Drama Queens Reviews, Mauritius

Yep, my first name really is Jake; I'm named after my grandfather. I grew up in a big bohemian family in MA.

Undergrad, I studied at the all-female Smith College, abroad at the Sorbonne, and came to NYC to get my MFA at the Actors Studio Drama School.

I am drawn to thought-provoking comedies, written in the last hundred years. I run my own production company, Tongue in Cheek Productions (TIC) with this same mission. For TIC, I wear many hats—actor, director, playwright, and producer. Please reach out if you'd like to collaborate.

This spring, I'm working on a bunch of writing and development projects, including a TV pilot based on my play Relentlessly Pleasant, and play called Little Faith.
