Wes Lieberman
Actor | Singer | Dancer

​Wes Lieberman (he/him) is a dedicated, versatile, and enthusiastic performer. At UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television, Wes was in Happy Birthday Mars Rover, where he played 18 roles, including a paleontologist, a fifth-grader, a Medieval spice merchant, and a post-apocalyptic dog. He was also in the main-stage musical Something Rotten, where he played Shylock, Minstrel, Chef, and Ensemble. He acted in several student productions as well, and while at UCLA he originated roles in four new works. After college, Wes has continued his involvement in new works, acting in the first English translation of On the Road to Zion by Sholem Asch with the Yiddish Theater Ensemble and originating the role of Arcadio in the concept musical The Wolves of Winter. He is also a veteran singer with The Holiday Carolers, and an avid singer/songwriter and composer. He currently lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn and works as a bartender.

Wes enjoys physical comedy and being larger-than-life while still staying grounded in the humanity of the character. He is also very passionate about musicality and music theory, and uses them to inform character choices. To him, being an actor is about solving a puzzle, and nothing makes him happier than finding what makes a character tick. Wes believes in the importance of arts education, and is still involved with the nonprofit that introduced him to theater, SFArtsEd. In June of 2025, he performed in a joint production of Into the Woods with SFArtsEd and SFBATCO to raise money for the nonprofits.

Wes is passionate about linguistics, specifically phonetics, and has taken several classes in college about it. He plays beginning piano and a bit of guitar, and writes music as well (mostly as a songwriter, but some musical theater and orchestral). Wes has experience in ballet, tap, and jazz dance. Almost every night he watches a YouTube channel that solves very complicated sudoku variants; he loves logic puzzles of all sorts, and crosswords as well. In his free time, he loves cooking, rarely with a recipe, often with very little planning beforehand. Cooking, to him, is about combining flavors and experimenting, solving problems as they arise. Similarly, he enjoys mixology. He is ethnically Jewish, raised in a reformed household where Judaism was seen as a community for social and political progress rather than a religion.
