Jade Harnish

       Hey there! My name is Jade Harnish and I am an artist. Plain and simple (but not actually simple at all). I have a deep love for the theater and acting and I aim to use that passion to tell stories that challenge peoples notions, make social change, and help to make the world a better place. I am inspired by the works of Dominique Morisseau, Lynn Nottage, Rachel Chavkin, Jane Chambers, and Sarah Ruhl, just to name a few. I am a very vocal and proud lesbian who is constantly searching for ways to uplift queer women and to tell their stories on the stage. 

       More about what brought me to this moment called now: I was born outside of Washington D.C. in Reston, Virginia. When I was 5, my family took a trip around the world, in hopes of taking us out of our “bubble” in the suburbs of Virginia. By happens chance, we ended up in Barcelona, Spain and decide to move there after our trip. I lived there until the age of 14, then I moved to Delaware. Although, my immediate family either never left or have now all moved back.

       Barcelona is my favorite place in the world and I will always cherish my time there. Living there gave me the gift of experiencing different cultures, learning languages (including becoming fluent in Spanish), and exposed me to many different art forms. I love anytime I get to connect my life experiences with my artistry to tell inspiring and fresh stories. 

       If you have made it this far, thank you! Below, you will find my headshots, resume, reels, production photos, and my contact information. Feel free to reach out, I’d love to get to know you, whoever you are.
