Jake Lindgren
Company
Jake Lindgren never expected to be a founding member of a theatre company in Minneapolis. He's really glad he is! Jake attended the University of Wisconsin in Eau Claire focusing on
comprehensive theatre. His past projects have included: Fort Wilson Riot's Idigaragua, Massgraves, a staged reading of Dan O'Neil's
'10/14', and most recently costuming LLwL's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Taking a break from performing, Jake will focus on his duties managing audience services and will be heading costumes for all LLwL productions.
To quote Joe Strummer of the The Clash, "I think people ought to know that we're anti-fascist, we're anti-violence, we're anti-racist and we're pro-creative. We're against ignorance."
