bio

Simone Daniel asked Chat GPT to write this bio for her but was met with “I’m sorry, I don’t know who Simone Daniel is”. Well A.I…she is a Brooklyn based writer and director whose theater works have premiered in several cities across the U.S. as well as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  An enthusiastic believer in Ensemble based work, Simone has supported and nurtured the life of and developed a large body of work for several young companies such as The Scranton Shakespeare Festival, The New Vintage Ensemble, Scranton Fringe Festival and more. Features of her work include extreme focus on character, immersive elements and a strong aesthetic. She is a prolific costume designer and has years of experience in various departments in film and television. She is passionate about arts education for learners at all levels and greatly enjoys every opportunity to teach. She hopes people perceive her as a combination of Isabella Rossellini and Gandalf the Grey, but appreciates that it’s probably more of a Bea Arthur/C-3PO kind of situation. Now could a computer write that?
