About the founder
Jackson Hayes is a young actor who started his journey with an open call audition that sparked his love for performing. Inspired by that experience, he created The Open Call Collective to give other kids the same chance to explore the stage and grow through the arts. As a child himself, Jackson is learning and discovering right alongside the performers he works with, building confidence, creativity, and friendships through each show they put on together. His goal is to uplift his community by making theater a place where every child feels supported and able to shine.

Whether you’re refining your voice, shaping a new project, or finding your place in the arts world, TOCC is where talent meets opportunity, and creativity grows in community.
