Peeter Jalakas on peavoolust kõrvalehoidev teatrijuht, julge ja sihikindel uuendaja ning oluliste ühiskondlike ettevõtmiste vedaja, kes tõstatab teemad, mida on mugavam maha vaikida, ja lükkab ühiskonnas käima muutused, mis on kujundanud meist paljude igapäevast elukeskkonda ja nauditavat kultuurimiljööd.

Jalakas on õppinud näitejuhtimist ja olnud käivitavaks jõuks nii VAT Teatri, trupi Ruto Killakund, festivali Baltoscandal kui Von Krahli teatri loomisel. Ühiskondlike teemade lahkamiseks on tal veel teisigi kanaleid: ta on puhta toidu restorani Von Krahli Aed ja ökotoodete kaupluse Ökosahver omanik, üks Eesti Rohelise Erakonna asutajaliikmeid, kunagine Tallinna Kultuurikatla juht ning lisaks veel 2011. aasta kultuuripealinna ühe esinumbri, Põhuteatri idee algataja. Muu hulgas on ta ehitanud omaenda maakodu täielikult elektriliselt iseseisvaks. Muu hulgas on ta ehitanud omaenda maakodu täielikult elektriliselt iseseisvaks.
