Alan Jacobson has produced over 80 shows around the country. Not only does he fill the rolls of producer, actor, and director, but recently, playwright, as he wrote ‘WaistWatchers The Musical.”
“When I first wrote ‘WaistWatchers The Musical!’ I was looking to create a fun show that people of all ages, backgrounds, and lifestyles could enjoy,” explained Jacobson. “I couldn’t think of anything more universal and topical than food. I truly don’t know anyone who doesn’t eat it! And people sure talk about and obsess over it.
The show is produced by Dana Matthow and Philip Roger Roy.
