Hi there, I’m Jared!

I’m an actor, musician, director, and stage combatant based in NYC.

I’m a graduate of the Dobbins Conservatory at Southeast Missouri State University, where I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in General Music. In 2024, I was a recipient of the Holland College of Arts & Media Experiential Learning Award.

As an artist, I value new work and the developmental cycle. I’ve performed in three world premiere staged readings with the Lanford Wilson New American Play Festival, and directed two world premiere short plays at the Dobbins Conservatory. Recently, I was in the premiere staged reading of Sundays by Aidan Cazeau, the New York premiere of Shelter in Place by Henry Feldman, and the world premiere of Come and Knock Down My Door by Alex Emanuel. In July, I’ll be in the premiere staged reading of The Man in the Iron Mask musical written by Austin Cappetta.

I’m a certified stage combatant by Dueling Arts International in both the smallsword and rapier / dagger weapon systems, and served as assistant fight choreographer for Theatre 121’s The Three Musketeers. I currently take combat classes with NYCSS.

When I’m not performing or playing with swords, I’m usually cooking, learning unusual instruments, practicing latte art, or playing video games that are over 20 years old.
