About
Daniel (he/they) is a neurodivergent writer/actor/ginger currently based out of Northern Ohio.
He has a special fondness for absurdism, folklore, and horror, but ultimately loves plays about honest people (or talking animals) in situations he hasn't seen before. When not gleefully giving their "soul" to artistic endeavors and projects, they legitimately enjoy long walks on the beach, video games with local co-op, and biscuits.
Most recently, he has been seen as a company member (portraying Sir Francis Drake) of Sterling Renaissance Festival’s Wyldewood Players. His full-length plays include altitude, Bereavement Leave, and Pit, a part of the ’24-25 season of the Inkwell Theater’s Development LAB. Their cosmic horror, In the Slush, was a Finalist for the 2023 Princess Grace Award and is published with Ghost Light Publications. Their scary story one-act, You See Them in the Corners of Your Eyes, has been produced at colleges and schools throughout the US.
Daniel is an alumnus of the University of Virginia and a proud member of the Dramatists Guild.

MELODRAMATIC KEENING TRAGICOMEDY​
Synopsis
I mean, pretty self-explanatory, innit? She’s yearning for her husband to return. Odd thing is, her husband’s BEEN home. For some years at least. So why won’t Julia Jennifer Rafferty come down from the widow’s walk? Is she doing a bit? Or is something dreadfully wrong with her brain? Also, Ichabod really needs to shut up and go away. Sigh.​​
