The play sold out four times and was staged at The Bell House for New York Comedy Festival. In June 2018 Hidden Fences made it's L.A. debut at The Dynasty Typewriter at Hayworth Theatre, starring and produced by Jermaine Fowler. In addition to writing the play, Jordan also plays an unhinged, comedic version of the Denzel Washington role, ‘Troy’. In October of 2017, he staged his follow up to Hidden Fences, an absurdist, one-act play entitled ‘The Color Urkel’ that loosely combines the narrative of The Color Purple with the characters Steve Urkel and Stefon Urquelle.
