Background

About Daria M. Sullivan

Since stepping onto the stage at just six years old, storytelling has been the core of my life's work. Today, I thrive as a New Jersey-based arts administrator, actor, teaching artist, director, and thought leader. I leverage my experience in the performing arts industry to provide creativity, strong communication, leadership, and strategic planning with a luminous demeanor. My professional and academic journeys take me around the world, from examining education and service-learning with the Vira I. Heinz Program for Women, Non-Binary, and Transgender Global Leaders in Ghana, West Africa to addressing social justice issues as a Humanity in Action Fellow in Denmark and the European Parliament in France. Each experience has deepened my commitment to advocacy, equity, and inclusion—values that inform every project I undertake. I am a proud member of Vivid Stage’s resident acting ensemble, and my credits span New Jersey, New York City, and Pennsylvania. Overall, I firmly believe in the power of art to activate empathy and galvanize a community. With compassion, curiosity, and tenacity at the forefront of my approach, I’m thrilled to continue growing in this ever-evolving field. Let’s connect and discover our synergy!
