Reviews: Birthday Candles, 1st Stage (Tysons Corner, VA)

The cast does a tremendous job with a script that can be quite light and deeply contemplative at the same time… As Kenneth, Jacob Yeh ages with good humor, providing plenty of comic relief.  MD Theatre Guide Only Jacob Yeh, like Starnes, plays the same role throughout: Kenneth, a neighbor

Reviews: The Horse and Carriage, Prologue Theatre (Arlington, VA)

A lot can happen over beer and dessert selections, thanks to the intriguing script by Karin Shook, great pacing by director Jenna Place, and a terrific ensemble… That quiver of doubt and possibility drives the show for a provocative 90 minutes — will they or won’t they blow up, make

Reviews: Sleeping Giant, Rorschach Theatre (Washington, DC)

Jacob Yeh rounds out Rorschach’s cast with the best of both worlds: delving deep into the affable Ryan who bookends the show and tuning into the emotional resonance of each character.   DC Theatre Arts Written by Emmy-nominated playwright, producer, and screenwriter Steve Yockey and directed by Jenny Mcconnell Frederick, the

Reviews: Postcards from Ihatov, 1st Stage (Tysons Corner, VA)

Reviews: How the Light Gets In, 1st Stage

Central among the accidental meetings in this play is the tenderly tentative connection that develops between Haruki and Grace — an improbable love story that is really the heart of the play. Jacob Yeh’s persuasive performance as Haruki becomes particularly poignant as he expresses both his own growing fondness for Grace

Reviews: Maple and Vine, Spooky Action Theater

Metro Weekly – Editor’s Best Pick As Katha and Ryu awaken and play their first scene, we cannot help but warm to them. They come across as two really nice people who belong together like…well, like two lovers in bed. Indeed the chemistry between Em Whitworth as Katha and Jacob
