Bailey Jordan Garcia is a playwright/actor who is currently earning their BFA in Playwriting and Acting at The New School. Bailey aims to write work that is thought-provoking that usually speaks to the LGBT community and/or speaks on religion.

Bailey has seen a fair amount of success as a playwright (especially considering their age) -- spanning from winning "Best Play" at The Players Theatre's Short Play Festival, to having shorts featured on podcasts, to readings of full lengths with well-established companies, to being one of the winners of The Blank's "Young Playwright Festival".

When they're not writing, they try to see as much theatre as humanly possible, fawn over Kieran Culkin in "Succession", and love spending time with their 3-legged pup named Mushu
