Jumpin’ Jim follows a cash-strapped entrepreneur and father as he wrestles with mounting debt and the pressure to sell his failing business amidst the 2008 financial crisis. While his two young daughters spend their summer digging an ambitious backyard fort, Jim oscillates between flights of fantasy and the harsh reality of liens and losses.

Bio.

As a director at a technical advisory firm, I guide executives through complex questions at the intersection of business and
ethics, from AI governance to corporate responsibility. Theatre is my counterbalance — a space to ask what the professional world is afraid of. I wrote this play to explore the moral gray zones that shape power, ambition, and the stories we tell.

All Shows will be presented at the LATEA  THEATER »
