My name is Jake Raiter, an actor currently based in Staunton, VA.

​​

I am a curious, silly, enthusiastic theatre-maker, willing to jump in and take on any challenge in front of me. Whether it's Shakespeare or new works, I am thrilled with any opportunity to use storytelling to engage with the world around me.

When teaching I focus on leading with compassion and providing future generations with the skills and tools to not only succeed in the arts but for life in general. 

​

As a poet I take a my life experiences and what I perceive around me and attempt to draw truth from it through language.

​​

I look forward to working together!
