Bio

Kyle Jarrow is a Tony-nominated, Obie Award-winning writer, showrunner, and musician who moves fluidly between television, film, and theater. A multi-hyphenate “iconoclast" (LA Times) who straddles indie and blockbuster with equal ease, he’s not afraid to ask hard questions and bold enough to offer provocative answers.

Kyle created and Executive Produced Valor (The CW/Netflix) and Lost Generation, and recently served as Co-Executive Producer on Star Trek: Discovery (Paramount+) and The Season (Hulu, 2026), as well as developed original series at Netflix, Amazon, Peacock and Showtime. His film work includes Purple Hearts (Netflix's #1 global film for multiple weeks), Armless (Sundance premiere), and Saint Janet (streaming on Amazon Prime). Recently Kyle made his screen directing debut with his short film Weathermaker (Austin Film Festival 2025). On Broadway, he wrote The SpongeBob Musical, earning Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle nominations. His varied other stage works — A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant (Obie Award), The Wildness (Lortel nomination), Whisper House, Hostage Song and Love Kills — have played across the U.S. and internationally. Upcoming: the new musical Noir co-written with Duncan Sheik. In addition to his more "traditional" theater pieces, Kyle has developed work for Cirque Du Soleil.

Alongside his wife Lauren Worsham, Kyle leads and writes the songs for the rock band Sky-Pony (called "indie pop aces" by The New York Times). Kyle was part of the now-retired art-rock band The Fabulous Entourage, which appeared in the Whitney Biennial and opened for such groups as Hot Chip and We Are Scientists. Kyle was also a member of the band Super Mirage.

Kyle was co-founder and board president for the philanthropic organization Places Places Project, which raised and distributed rent relief to help NYC theater workers during the pandemic. He was one of the founders of NYC performance space The Tank, still going strong twenty years later. He's been a Dramatists Guild Fellow and a member of Ars Nova PlayGroup. A graduate of Yale University, he majored in religious studies. He's sorry this bio is so long, and if you've made it all the way to the end - he thanks you.
