Bio

Jade Carson is a student at Western Washington University. A theater major with an emphasis on script writing and directing. 

Born and Raised in  Eugene, Oregon, but having moved to  Bellingham, Washington, her history with religion and her LGBTQ identity influence  her writing heavily.

Jade has been involved in theater arts since a young age, first acting in a production of The Lion King in fifth grade. Ever since acting for the first time, she has been enamored with all aspects of theater and  its ability to impact people.

In her junior year of High School, she had the opportunity to  direct a series  of short one-act plays, and dove in head first. Her production of three short  plays from the “Arcana” collection were greatly received, and the experience opened  her eyes to more  than just acting. 

She began writing as well in high school, finishing her first one-act, "Montana" in her senior year. She was able to  get her  friends together and direct the  play shortly after writing it. After producing this short play with her high school, it  performed at the Oregon State Thespian Festival and was awarded a Full Superior rating by the Oregon Thespian Society.

Jade Carson is a Transgender Woman, and aims to  center the LGBTQ viewpoint in her works. Whether comedy or tragedy, the experiences of young queer people comes  first, and she aims to create a wider space for Transgender writers  of all walks of life to come together and celebrate their work.
