DARYL IS a playwright (novelist & podcaster), freelance graphic designer (MFA, Graphic Design, University of Memphis) and actor (BS, Theatre, Northwestern University) based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Her plays and musicals have been produced Off-Broadway (American Theatre of Actors, Theatre Row, New York Musical Theatre Festival) and in professional regional and international theatres including Barter Theatre, Theatrical Outfit, Penobscot Theatre, Actor’s Express, Aurora Theatre, Florida Rep, and Actors Rep of Luxembourg. She has been commissioned by Horizon Theatre and Emory University. Plays have also been developed by Alliance Theatre, Synchronicity Theatre, Coastal Carolina University, and Working Title Playwrights.

She is an O’Neill and Bay Area Playwrights Festival Finalist, an Alliance Reiser Artist’s Lab recipient, and had a musical selected for the National Alliance of Musical Theatre Festival as well as being a Next Link selection for the New York Musical Theatre Festival (RIP).

Her commitment is to writing multi-dimensional roles for women of all ages, races, and classes. Partly, that comes from being a woman and an actor herself, and partly it comes from growing up in a richly textured small college town in Mississippi.

When not writing, Daryl enjoys the occasional acting gig and caters to the graphic design needs of professional theatres in Atlanta and beyond. She is a professional member of the Dramatist Guild.
