Actor, Singer,
Playwright.
MEET.
Danielle DeCrette is a seasoned entertainment professional and emerging playwright - a card-carrying member of the Actor's Equity Association and the Dramatists Guild of America.
Just weeks after she drove her loaded U-Haul to New York City, at the age crazy age of eighteen, Danielle landed her first singing gig. At a lovely cocktail bar dubbed Manhattan, she spent her evenings as a songbird and server. A week shy of her nineteenth birthday, she went on the road in a European tour of Showboat, ultimately taking over the role of Ellie.
Her Broadway Tours include: Anything Goes with Leslie Uggams, A Funny Thing Happened...with Mickey Rooney, and David Merrick’s 42nd Street. Danielle’s favorite roles in regional theatre include Lizzie in Baby, Rosamund in The Robber Bridegroom, and Cassie in A Chorus Line.
While finishing her college degree and raising her kids, Danielle spent several years as a communications and event consultant and is honored to have partnered with many arts organizations and educational institutions. She specialized in creating high-profile, strategic engagements featuring artists, boards and C-level executives, celebrities, government officials, philanthropists, and world leaders.
Even before Danielle earned her bachelor’s degree, she was implementing the communications plan for the annual Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting Ceremony and overseeing NYU School of Law conferences attended by the likes of President Bill Clinton, Prime Minister Tony Blair, and justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, including her idols Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
​
During the pandemic - Danielle stayed busy acting in films, episodic work, commercials, print ads, and most importantly, writing.
​
Danielle’s multi-generational play, Sadie’s Day, was one of two plays selected for Will Geer’s Botanical Theatricum Seedling’s series in Los Angeles in the summer of 2019. A second reading was graciously hosted online by The Dramatists Guild in December 2020. She received scholarships to the Kenyon Playwriting Conference and the Southampton Writer's Conferences in 2017 and attended the Sewanee Writer's Conference as a contributor in 2024.
​​
Danielle is an MFA Candidate at the Rita and Burton Goldberg Department of Dramatic Writing, Tisch School of the Arts, at New York University, and (fingers crossed) will graduate in May 2025.
​
She lives in New York City with her husband and three daughters, her greatest achievements.
