About me

I am a Brooklyn-based Playwright, Screenwriter, Novelist, Actor, Poet and Teaching Artist with over 20 years experience as a professional writer, performer and theatrical practitioner, in addition to my work as a teacher, adapter and editor. 

RECENT PRODUCTIONS of my plays include my acclaimed solo play, AMERICAN TRANQUILITY, which has been performed at the PIT Loft, the 2018 Downtown Urban Arts Festival (Runner up for Best Play), at the East Village Playhouse (in 2018 and 2020) and in Washington DC as part of the 2019 Capital Fringe Festival.  Other recent notable productions include the World Premier of my one-act play THE LEPERS (2019 Ensemble Studio Theatre's One-Act Marathon) and the World Premier of HARMONY PARK (Detroit Repertory Theatre).  My play THE WILD BOAR is a current Finalist for Dayton Playhouse's Futurefest 2022, and was a subsequent Finalist for both the 2019 Woodward/Newman Drama Award and the Janet and Bruce Bunch Award.  My play DAY OF THE DOG, which premiered with St. Louis Actors' Studio and was then transferred to NYC's 59E59 Theatre, was published by Broadway Play Publishing.  In the summer of 2022, my first collection of full-length plays, PLAYS BY DANIEL DAMIANO - Volume 1, will be published by fandango 4 Art House.  (To view my play catalogue, awards, publications and more review excerpts, please visit www.danieldamiano.com).
