Since, Jeromy produced a variety of unique film and video projects including the interactive web series, Maddison Atkins. Once he arrived in Houston in 2011, Jeromy found he could use his experience to help the wide variety of local performers hone their craft and showcase their talents. In 2013, he established Beta Theater to do just that. In its first year, Beta has held dozens of improv classes, workshops, and has hosted many speakers, stand up comedy, music, and art shows.
