About
Daniel Oakley (he/him) hails from Washington, D.C. by way of New Orleans. A ham from a young age, he traversed the continent as a writer and musician before studying to embody the art of storytelling. Guided by decorated mentors, Daniel descended into 1633 Broadway—which pools MFA faculty from Juilliard, Princeton, and NYU Tisch—and is now hitting orbit in the industry. Whether as leading man or antagonist—bard or buffoon—his goal is to leave every audience reeking of joy in catharsis.
