Discover the fascinating world of Judge Mike Jacobs in his Spotlight Cast Interview excerpts below: 1. When did you discover your show or artistic talent? I have been singing karaoke for decades, primarily standards and show tunes. I also have a favorite piano bar in Atlanta, where I go to sing from time to time. I made good friends there who sing in the Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus. Those friends encouraged me to audition. In the late summer of 2022, I took the plunge and did just that. I’ve been singing as a baritone in the Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus since that audition. It is an activity I do for myself outside of work. I love having it as an artistic outlet, which has helped me become a better singer. 2. Why did you decide to participate in the Bard Show? I am a trial judge who enjoys musical theatre and loves to sing show tunes. With that profile, the Bard Show seems like destiny. I have attended the Bard Show previously, but this will be my first time as a performer. I am very excited!

As my previous response suggests, there was little to decide. 3. What do you enjoy most about the show? Apart from the enjoyment inherent in performing, the fellowship is unparalleled. 4.

Does your artistic endeavor help you with your job as a lawyer? It provides a remarkable opportunity to get to know other members of the bar. (I knew Justice David Nahmias for ten years before I learned how to pronounce his last name.) 6. What is your favorite musical show – besides the Bard Show? Man of La Mancha.
