About Me
Classics + Comedy
Danielle is an NYC-based artist with a particular passion for Shakespeare and all things hilarious. She holds a BFA from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and UCB Improv training (as well as Comedy Sportz). She is also a board member of Fat Knight Theatre. When she isn't cooking up jokes or analyzing the implications of a 400-year-old comma, you can find her playing Dungeons and Dragons or snuggling her little black cat.
Reviews Are In:
Women of Williams county
"Danielle Cohn is an exquisite clown and vital energy on stage, driving the action forward with vigor and intelligence. She was a powerful anchor in the group."
- Jacquelyn Claire, NY Theatre Guide
The Trojan women
"Danielle Cohn as Helen of Troy is by turns hilarious, opportunistic, and convincing as the woman who will do anything to survive - and does."
-Emily C. A. Snyder, Classical NYC
Drunk shakespeare
Danielle, a voluptuous, flaming red-haired real-life Jessica Rabbit...seemed pretty obliviously gleeful, and washed out her damned spots with melodramatic abandon before her melodramatic death... My sides and cheeks hurt from laughing for 90 minutes straight."
--Diane Meyer Lowman, Somers' HamletHub
broad comedy
"[The] talented all-female ensemble... All have big smiles, strong voices and perfect articulation...The cute choreography is skillfully executed with the cast handily managing everything from baby carriages to guns."

Roll With It
A DND Screen-Capture Comedy
You find yourself in a dungeon. Monsters lurk in the shadows (crushing loneliness, endless Zoom meetings, your long overdue break up). Roll initiative.
This inventive new comedy takes us from the depths of the mundane to the heights of high fantasy, all from the POV of one laptop screen.
Danielle stars as Sarah, and wrote/performs an original song in the piece.
