Jacoba Williams

Jacoba, a proud Midlander, is an actor, theatre maker, and facilitator.

Before graduating from Italia Conti with an Acting Ba (Hons), her passion for creating opportunities for young people was cultivated through training at Stage2 Youth Theatre and National Youth Theatre. 

Participating in Pentabus’ young writer programmes as an actor deeply inspired her, unveiling the company’s commitment to empowering underrepresented voices and producing high-quality theatre. 

Jacoba brings considerable experience ranging from fringe theatre to Shakespeare’s Globe, classrooms to prisons, and includes establishing her own company and working as a freelancer. Her dedication is focused on creating impactful and inclusive theatre experiences.
