WHO WE ARE

JED PARSARIO

Jed Parsario (he/him, AEA) is an actor 

based in Oakland–Bay Area, CA. 

Bilingual, bicultural, bicoastal by nature, 

he dreams about ice creamed realities in technicolor 

with dramatic musical haikus, 

undulating Hapa Belly Dancers and the peculiarities perpetual propriety brings 

between polite peers and antiquarian acquaintances. 

He aspires to inspire in the likes of W. Shakespeare, Hozier, Dr. José Rizal 

and the Brave Artists, Theatremakers, 

and everyday HeartWorkers around him.
