Danielle Banks is an actor and musician. She is currently a sophomore at Winthrop University pursuing a B.A. in Musical Theatre. Prior credits include “Megan” in PUFFS: THE PLAY, “Colleen’ in MR. BURNS: A POST ELECTRIC PLAY, and “Lisarda” in THE COURAGE TO RIGHT A WOMAN’S WRONGS. She couldn’t be more excited to help bring this magical story to life for an audience. She sends her love to her parents, brother, and adorable dog, Lucy. She would like to thank Martha Kelly for her guidance and encouragement, and her boyfriend for his endless love, support, and patience.

Sarah is a theatre director, professor, and teaching artist currently based in Charlotte, NC.  In addition to being a freelance director, I also teach directing, acting, and script analysis courses at Winthrop University and Children's Theatre of Charlotte.

I would like to acknowledge that the spaces in which I work are located on the Indigenous lands of the Sugaree, Catawba, and Waxhaw tribes. Acknowledging my white ancestor’s practices of colonization and erasure, though it is a small step, holds a deep connection to my belief in theatre’s power to create change through empathy. 

Danielle graduated from the University of the Arts in 2011 with a BFA in Directing, Playwriting, and Production. She moved to the Carolinas in 2016 from Syracuse, NY where she worked at the Red House Arts Center for 5 years as a director, stage manager, box office manager, and a teaching artist for Pre-K through 5th grade amplifying core curriculum through artistic platforms. Also, during that time, she worked at the Adirondack Arts Center as their Artistic Associate. Since moving to Charlotte, she has worked with Three Bone Theatre as a stage manager, artistic associate, and co-director. She is thrilled to be back on the Three Bone team serving as the assistant director and stage manager for OPEN. Thank you so much to Sarah, Dani, and the Three Bone team for letting me be part of the magic. And an extra special thank you to Mom and Dad for taking care of Harper “The Monster” Houdini while her mom was off making art.
