Daniel Beaty

His original two-person play on the life of Paul Robeson remained the highest grossing production at the Yale Cabaret for several years.

He has performed at The White House and has graced the stage of The Kennedy Center in tribute to Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis.

He has performed on programs with artists such as Jill Scott, Sonia Sanchez, MC Lyte, Mos Def, Tracy Chapman, Deepak Chopra, and Phylicia Rashad.

His critically acclaimed solo show Through the Night ran off-Broadway in 2010 at the Union Square Theatre produced by Daryl Roth.

Daniel has also written a Spoken World Ballet Far But Close that will premiere in the 2012/13 season for Dance Theater of Harlem.

Daniel was seen on the third and fourth seasons of HBO's Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry; as a guest artist on NBC's Showtime at the Apollo with Rueben Studdard; and on BET's 106 & Park.

Breath & Imagination, Daniel's new musical about the life of Roland Hayes, the first African-American classical vocalist of world renown, recently received a reading at the York Theater.

Post graduate school, Beaty began teaching acting, singing and writing in Brooklyn, Harlem, and the Bronx.
