Jacob Steen has commenced a very exciting time in a performer’s career. He is making his professional debut in the musical Mary Poppins; now touring around Australia, presented by Disney, Cameron Mackintosh and Michael Cassel.

An exciting and joyous time indeed, but one that presents its share of challenge, discovery and discipline. Jacob is keen to share his experience thus far and provide insight for the novice performer ‘waiting in the wings’ and the audience who are fascinated by the theatre and the backstage of showbiz.

Jacob completed first year of the Bachelor of Music Theatre at the Victorian College of the Arts, prior to the opportunity to join Mary Poppins. He has trained in Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Acro, Musical Theatre and Contemporary under Renie Ann Martini OAM at the May Downs School of Dance from 2016 until 2020. His training begun with jazz and tap under Jodie Greenwood at Upstage Dance Academy.

Jacob has been a proud member of Actor's Equity since 2022.

It is indeed a recent professional debut and STAGES is delighted to welcome Jacob onto STAGES and applaud his new adventure ‘on the boards!’
