About Dan.

Originally from Springfield, MA., Dan Kelly is a New York based actor. Dan’s love of performing first became evident when he made his theatrical debut as a Chair in his middle school’s production of Beauty and the Beast at the age of 11. Ever since, he appeared in over 30 productions with community, conservatory, and regional theaters around Western MA. He also often performed standup comedy, and was a part of a Springfield-based comedy improv troupe.

In 2015, Dan co-founded Wet Paint Theatre, an entirely student-run theatre company that helped fledgling artists in Western Massachusetts get their work seen. With Wet Paint, Dan wrote, produced, and starred in 2 original musicals, both premiering at The Drama Studio in Springfield, MA. Both musicals completed fully sold-out performances.

In 2017, after graduating high school, Dan moved to New York City to attend The American Academy of Dramatic Arts to pursue his dream of entertaining. Upon graduating from The Academy, Dan was offered a spot in the Academy’s 2019-2020 Company, which he completed in January of 2020.

Since then, Dan has been lucky enough to be working consistently, including on tour with Douglas Carter Beane’s revivial of Babes in Arms, Off-Broadway with Midsummer: The Dreamer, and Dear Mom, Sorry for Being a Bitch, as well as numerous film projects!

Dan continues to act, write, and make people laugh.
He’s also very tired of writing in the 3rd person.
