My name is Jacob David Lang and I am a freelance Director currently based in Indianapolis, IN. I work full-time as the Executive Assistant at the Indiana Repertory Theatre while pursuing my Directing career.

I graduated from Ball State University in 2018 with a degree in Theatre Production, specializing in Directing. While there, I Assistant Directed many shows and Directed ‘Constellations’ by Nick Payne and ‘A Woman’s Conscience’ by Naomi Boico.

After graduating, I moved to Chicago and Assisted at Drury Lane Theatre on ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and worked on the Chicago New Musical Theatre Festival before moving home due to the pandemic.

In February of 2022, I decided to leave my full-time job and started as an Assistant House Manager at IRT. After a few months, I was promoted to the full-time House Manager position. Most recently, I received a promotion to become the Executive Assistant to IRT’s Artistic Director and Managing Director. Since moving to Indianapolis, I have worked with American Lives Theatre in their Short and Stout Play Festival, as well as being the Assistant Director for ‘The Minutes’ by Tracy Letts.
