About Jared

Jared Michael Delaney is a Philly-based screenwriter, playwright and actor, born into an Irish family where good storytelling was a required skill if you wanted to be heard above the din. A member of the Dramatists’ Guild, AEA and SAG-AFTRA, he received his MA in Theatre from Villanova University and MFA in Stage/Screenwriting from the Queens University of Charlotte, with further training with Lee Jessup, Jen Grisanti, Script Anatomy, Roadmap Writers, and the Sundance Co/Lab, among others. He’s been seen on HBO, AMC, various (fantastically “B”) features and on stages across the nation.

He’s a multi-time quarterfinalist in various screenplay competitions, which surely must add up to one finalist somewhere. His plays have been produced across the country and internationally, including Voyager One, named a Top Ten Production by the Newark Star Ledger. He’s also been published by Smith & Krauss Books.

Jared’s work as a journalist taught him to tune out the static and find the correct frequency of a story. He writes emotionally complex characters struggling with difficult circumstances…like that time he died for ten minutes.

But he’s fine now.

Really.
