Danielle DeCrette came to playwriting after spending several years traveling the United States, Europe, and Asia in Broadway touring companies. She grew up in Dundalk, Maryland, a truly special place, where she digs up many of her eccentric characters. She earned a B.A. from the Gallatin School at NYU, where she concentrated in playwriting and women’s studies and where her short story, “Tossing Daisies,” was chosen for the Gallatin Review.

 

Danielle attended the Kenyon Playwriting Conference, where she worked with Wendy MacLeod and Steven Dietz, and the Southampton Writers Conference, where she worked with Stephen Hamilton, Billy Carden and Lucas Hnath. She has also studied with playwrights Winter Miller and Stephanie Zadravec.

 

Danielle’s play, Sadie's Day, was chosen as one of two plays for Botanicum Seedlings at Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum in Los Angeles in 2019. In December of 2020, the Dramatists Guild of America hosted a virtual staged reading of Sadie's Day as part of their Friday Night Footlights series.

 

Her short plays and monologues have been featured at ESPA at Primary Stages.

 

Sadie's Day can be found at the New Play Exchange.
