THE GREEN ROOM 42 – the intimate concert venue dubbed Broadway’s “off-night hotspot” by The New York Times – will present original Into the Woods star Danielle Ferland in her solo concert debut, “Sing for Your Ghosts,” with two shows on Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21, both at 7:00 PM. Ferland grew up on stage, made her Broadway debut at age 12, and spent her formative years entertaining packed audiences instead of going to the junior prom. Through stories and songs, she explores the conundrum of perception versus reality, and reveals what it’s like to always be singing for your supper. “Sing for Your Ghosts” is a jaunt of self-discovery, laughter and music, discussing being backstage with Sondheim, New York City in the ‘80s, and life as a commuting child actor. The show is written by Danielle Ferland and Abby Sher (The New York Times, The New Yorker), directed by Darren Katz (The Lion King on Broadway, Resident Director), and features musical direction by Brian Nash (Silence! The Musical).
Danielle Ferland has been performing professionally since the ripe age of ten, traipsing into NYC from Connecticut to frolic on and off Broadway, on TV, and in movies. She most recently portrayed Rita in the new ABC series “Alaska Daily.” On Broadway, she originated the roles of Little Red Riding Hood in Into the Woods (Theatre World Award and Drama Desk nomination) and Louise in Sunday in the Park with George. Her other New York credits include All My Sons, A Year with Frog and Toad, The Crucible, A Little Hotel on the Side (National Actors Theatre), A Little Night Music (City Opera), She Stoops to Conquer (Irish Rep), The Streets of New York (Irish Rep), Engaged (Theatre for a New Audience), Tartuffe (New York Shakespeare Festival), and How I Learned to Drive (Century).
Her favorite regional productions include The Most Beautiful Room in New York (Long Wharf), Baker’s Wife in Into the Woods (Baltimore Center Stage and Westport Country Playhouse), The School for Husbands (Westport), and productions at the McCarter Theater, Actor’s Theatre of Louisville and the Huntington. Danielle’s film and TV credits include Diane (Kent Jones, dir.), Mighty Aphrodite (Woody Allen, dir.), Radio Days (Woody Allen, dir.), tick, tick… BOOM! (Netflix), “Blue Bloods” (CBS), “The OA” (Netflix), “Jessica Jones” (Netflix, recurring), Estelle in HBO’s The Normal Heart, “The Good Wife,” “Law & Order: SVU,” and “Inside Amy Schumer.” Danielle teaches private acting and song interpretation through her own studio and at various programs in NJ. As a director, she has helmed productions for Boston Children’s Theater, as well as workshops and readings for several companies in the tri-state area, including Black Box PAC (Englewood, NJ). Danielle resides in South Orange, NJ.
