Jaden Alvaro Gines (they/them) is a Genderqueer, Latino playwright from working class New Jersey, which is a triple minority if you count the New Jersey part. Their work focuses heavily on the issues plaguing middle class America, touching on topics such as economic strife, the American dream, Trans and Queer bodies, and the attempt at life as an everyday working person. They attempt to reflect the people from their communities that would otherwise be forgotten in the theater world, and produce work that has been put to the side in the craft in recent years. Jaden’s work attempts to represent the queer experience and the struggle to live in the American landscape. Jaden is passionate about collaborating with scrappy, up and coming theatremakers, and producing new, rapidly developing works.
