Jaid Green
['jād 'grēn] yes, like the color.
1. energetic, adaptable, innovative
2. an athletic artist
Sometime in her preteen years, New Jersey native Jaid Green drove across the George Washington Bridge and found herself standing below the marquees of Broadway. Since then, she never looked back. It's a good thing she was practically raised in a dance studio, equipped with a perfect color-coded stage name.
In high school, she majored in Theatre within the Academy for Visual and Performing Arts at Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, NJ. She then continued to study Music Theatre at Elon University in North Carolina, along with participating in Elon’s Leadership Fellows program.
Jaid excels in roles that showcase dynamic storytelling and require high athleticism. She is remarkably versatile with an excellent ability to balance multiple roles in performance and leadership. Jaid believes that the artist's superpower is using things as simple as movement and words to impact audiences and change culture. This is why musical theatre dance reeled her in and hasn't let her go for seventeen years. On her days off, you can find her listening to Taylor Swift, petting a dog, breaking her bank account at lululemon, or reading the daily Sagittarius horoscope. She hopes to meet you along the way!
