✨ ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: JACOB THOMAS ✨

From his very first lines in our youth program to taking center stage in our adult productions, Jacob Thomas has spent years bringing stories to life at Arc Light. This week, however, he isn’t just memorizing lines—he’s calling the shots.

In a massive milestone for both Jacob and Arc Light Productions, he is making his directorial debut with a project he built from scratch. Jacob is the writer, composer, and director behind a completely original musical, "A Shot Rang Out!", and watching a homegrown performer evolve into a full-scale visionary is exactly why we love community theater.

"A Shot Rang Out!" is finally coming to life this week. This gripping, original musical is packed with suspense, incredible music, and powerhouse performances.

📅 Opening Night: This Friday, June 5th!
