Danielle Koenig has been lying to you. They go by Dani. And, yeah, maybe they should change their professional name to Dani Koenig, but there’s something that feels so casual about that. Life is hard. It’s full of so many choices. This one will have to happen later.

​

Danielle (Dani?) Koenig has a degree in musical theatre performance from UCLA and musical theatre writing from NYU. Their full length work has been developed by Second Stage, Theatre NOW,  Prospect Theatre Company, Syracuse University, and more. Their standalone work has been seen at Lincoln Center, Joe’s Pub, Rattlestick Playwright's Theater, 54 Below, and more. They have won a couple competitions (brag) including Write Out Loud, Fusion Film Festival, and the Humanitas’ David and Lynn Angell Comedy Award.  They have been commissioned by the Brooklyn Children’s Theater and FUSE Theatre, and are a member of UNTITLED Musical Writers Group.

​

Dani (Danielle?) Koenig tends to write comedies with consequence, hahas with heart, laughs with [insert weighty ‘L’ word here]. They tend to perform in gay stuff because of the way they are, but are happy and not even that bad at performing in non-gay stuff too.

​

Danielle Koenig is a queer, Jewish, 5’ 4.5”, shoe size 7, Mac user, contact wearer, small handed, puppet loving, son of a bitch. Feel free to reach out.
