Born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, Aidan Briggs discovered his passion for performance in 10th grade after auditioning for his school’s production of The Wizard of Oz, where he was cast as the Tin Man. From there, he quickly became involved in community theatre, appearing in productions such as Pirates of Penzance (Frederick), Annie (Rooster), and Les Misérables (Marius).
Aidan later starred as Jack Kelly in the Delaware premiere of Disney’s Newsies, earning the BroadwayWorld Regional Award for Best Lead Actor in a Musical. He subsequently received the same award for his portrayal of Che in a Maryland production of Evita.
Following high school, Aidan moved to New York City to attend The King's College, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Media, Culture, and the Arts with a concentration in Performing Arts. During his time there, he performed in productions of Songs for a New World, [title of show] (Hunter), and Carousel (Billy Bigelow). For his senior capstone project, Aidan produced and performed a solo concert featuring selections from Sunset Boulevard, The Phantom of the Opera, Sunday in the Park with George, Les Misérables, Amazing Grace, and more.
More recently, Aidan has appeared as Dimitri in Anastasia and Emmett Forrest in Legally Blonde with Sceneworks Studios. He has also performed at The Grand Opera House for the 2023 and 2024 AARP Delaware Andrus Award presentations, and had the honor of opening for Ramin Karimloo at City Winery New York City.
In addition to stage work, Aidan has participated in two live-streamed readings with Delaware’s City Theater Company, reading for the roles of Jack in Comfort and Joy and Cheyenne Ford in Two Chairs.
Outside of theatre, Aidan also performs with Sew Classy Royal Events, a professional character entertainment company dedicated to inspiring children to be kind, creative, courageous, and to follow their dreams.
