Biography

Jason Aguirre (he/him/el) specializes in new musical development and reinvestigating the traditional American book musical. He aims to inspire audiences’ imaginations, spark curiosity, and compel patrons to be skeptical of the status quo. Jason strives to be radically inclusive in his practices while delivering a theatrical Flintstone vitamin to audiences — a socio-political message served through candy-coated entertainment. He is a SDCF Fellow, a member of the Directors Group at Roundabout Theatre Company, a member of the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Librettist Workshop, a founding member of Theatre Now’s National Musical Writers Group, and a graduate of the George and Joy Abbott MFA in Musical Theatre Collaboration at Temple University. His musicals in development include: Sick Moves! (or The Dancing Plague of 1518), Public Dominance, and Disco Destruction. Jason is a proud member of the Dramatists Guild and Associate Member of the Stage Directors and Choreographer Association. www.j-aguirre.com @jasona57
