Aidan's Story
Raised in a family where the spotlight was always shining, Aidan grew up immersed in the world of theatre. With a mother who has directed and taught theatre for over 35 years, and founded multiple theatre companies, and a father who teaches theatre as well, the stage was Aidan’s first home. He made his debut as the Snow Baby in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel at just a year old, and he hasn’t stepped out of the spotlight since. From an early age, Aidan was performing in musicals and plays under the direction of his mother at Shine in the Limelight, portraying leading roles such as Tony in West Side Story, Emmett in Legally Blonde, and the title ogre in Shrek the Musical.
​
In high school, Aidan was accepted into the prestigious Visual and Performing Arts Magnet at Dr. Phillips High School, where he performed in the dance ensemble for Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella and Guys & Dolls, while also gaining experience behind the scenes on tech crews for district-level one-act plays and state-level musical productions. His passion for performance continued to evolve when he transferred in his junior year to the Theatre Conservatory at Montverde Academy. There, he embraced complex characters including Russ/Dan in Clybourne Park, King Duncan in Macbeth, and Sky in Mamma Mia!

Arcadia University
While earning his BA in Theater Arts from Arcadia University, he displayed immeasurable growth stepping into multiple leading roles, including Melchior in Spring Awakening and The Baker in Into the Woods.

Specifically, being Melchior in Spring Awakening was an honor of a lifetime. Directed by Robi Hager, one of the original cast members of Spring Awakening, was truly a one-time experience, and Aidan is incredibly grateful he had that opportunity.
