Barbershop Tales, written by Jacob Fjeldheim, Tyler Kerstetter, and Jackson Smith, can be described as a campy musical romp through coming of age, tradition, and romance. It follows a young man, Joel, ready to take over his father's business (a barbershop, naturally), when his introspective yet unemployed best friend Timmy and new found love interest Judy pull him off his father's track. His life complicates as he discovers Judy is in fact homeless, and seeks to reconcile this with himself and with her. As finally the pair seem meant to be, Judy disappears, and Joel's entire world shatters: he's left to pick up the pieces of a broken reality in a light-hearted comedic setting. Considering the former elements' intertwining and unfolding in straightforward delivery and lighthearted song and dance, Barbershop Tales is perhaps best categorized as theatre of the absurdity of reality--an exploration into what can be, a parody of seriousness.

The original concept was brought to Jacob by Tyler when he wanted to create a musical short film and he just knew they might as well make a beeline for the stage.

Jacob has been involved with theatre since he was very young, and has accompanied and musically directed at high schools and community playhouses for years now, but he has always been most interested in creation--storytelling, composition, or any other sort of communication he’d like to think he can offer the world.

Jacob Fjeldheim states that “I'm passionate about this medium and I couldn't be more pleased to get my feet wet in writing with my writing dream team and the fantastic cast and production crew at Eastside High School."
