Danny Rocco is the internationally produced playwright and pioneer of the Script Writing Score.
Rocco’s writing has been developed and produced in New York, Los Angeles, Cape Cod, Colorado, Romania, at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and the Irondale Theater Center.
He is supported by Yaddo, the Edward F. Albee Foundation, Byrdcliffe, Catwalk, the Arctic Circle Residency and Atlantic Acting School.
A graduate of New York University’s Gallatin School and Columbia University’s School of the Arts, he is the creator of the Script Writing Score and co-creator of Swseng, a new ‘present-tense’ writing software.
He is the Artistic Director of Brontosaurus Haircut Productions, a board member of Tom Noonan’s Paradise Factory, and the Co-Artistic Director of the new LA Public Theater.
Danny is nothing less than the deal. He is the kind of playwright that makes audiences sit up and pay attention. He is wildly talented and I cannot wait to see what happens to him in the future.
-Anne Bogart | Director
I know Danny best as a very imaginative and expert director. He’s one of those people I consider a complete theatrical personality.
-Edward Albee | Playwright
If only to say ‘I was there when he first burst upon the scene.’ For there is little doubt in my mind that Rocco is a major new talent from whom we’re likely to hear much more from in the years ahead.
