Most recently, Jaden’s play Delivery Boy performed in the Philadelphia Fringe Festival in September 2024, with them acting as lead producer. Prior to this, Delivery Boy had its New York premier with Kitchen Sink Theatre Company in February, which earned them a 2024 BroadwayWorld Off Broadway award nomination for Best New Play. Delivery Boy is currently set to be published by 1319 Press in late March. In July 2024, they held a reading of their piece The Z.U.M with the Elif Collective in Brooklyn as a part of their Elif Bet new play reading series. In February 2025, they co-produced a staged reading of The Z.U.M with Em Hausmann and Permafrost Theatre Collective at Pearl Studios, NYC. The Z.U.M is set to have a presentation in Philadelphia with The Lemonade Stand in July 2025. Other projects written by Jaden include: Moving Out (JJ Theatre Productions), Hair-Dye Tutorial (Ben Vergas Short Stuff Festival), Violent Outbursts of the Restaurant Kind (Theatermania.com), and Tick Tick (Permafrost Theatre Collective).
As a director, Jaden works to stage relevant, contemporary works that tell the story of the here and now. They were the lead director for their piece Moving Out with JJ Theatre Productions in 2021, also acting as producer. In February 2025, they directed The Grown Ups by Skylar Fox and Simon Henriques through Temple University’s Side Stage company. They have also had the pleasure of working in Philadelphia in new work development, working on pieces such as The Sweet Hereafter (Daniel Mate, Kent Nicholson dir.), Sleepy Hollow Haunts (Matthew Bock), and a reimagining of Georg Buchner’s Woyzeck (Roz Cramer, dir.). They also worked on the season curation committee at the University of the Arts from 2023-2024, helping to craft their season of performances.
Jaden is currently seeking a Bachelor of Arts in Theater from Temple University. They formerly studied at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, studying directing, playwriting, and production prior to its sudden closure in June of 2024.
