Some of Jasper’s recent work includes the Momentum Festival at City Theatre in which he served as the Stage Manager for the feature piece, a new musical built on the music of Joe Grushecky titled East Carson Street. This developmental workshop was part of a rewriting process for the show following their production at the Bell Theater in New Jersey. In the summer of 2025, he was a member of the stage management team for the world premiere of Madame Clicquot: A Revolutionary Musical at Pittsburgh CLO. This production brought the story of the Widow Clicquot to the world stage as the next step in the development of this musical.
Highlighting his time at Carnegie Mellon University has been the working relationship and deep friendship Jasper has developed with the writing duo Catcher Fox Sanchez and Noah Van Ess. Over the past three years, they have formed a team of five, filled out by director Sean Barnett and designer Sydney de Haan, producing three musicals for the annual Playground festival. One of these musicals, the rom-com There Goes the Bride, recently made its professional debut at the New Hazlett Theater.
