Darryin Cunningham, Acting Instructor
Darryin Cunningham was born in Alexandria Virginia, and was raised as a military child. Most of his family is from and still resides in the south. He first performed as Jack, in Jack in the Beanstalk when he was in first grade. He took an interest in writing at a young age, but didn’t start acting and singing until middle school, where he balanced art and sports. He played football, basketball, performed in musicals and sang in choir.
After a long break in high school, he performed in Cinderella in his later high school years and was a acting/directing coach for a Broadway Junior production of Beauty and the Beast. Darryin graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Acting and Directing and a minor in Creative Fiction Writing. PLU is where he found his true passion for the arts. There, he wrote his first two plays and acted in various plays and musicals and musical revues. He sang briefly with the University Chorale choir and also gained his choreography debut at PLU, as well as performing in two dance showcases. He had a one act version of his play “House of Bensons” produced at PLU. Darryin was nominated and chosen for the “Outstanding Leading Performance” award for 2018 and 2019. He has worked with multiple community theatres and performed a wide range of roles. Darryin currently resides in the Spanaway/Tacoma. He is working on two new scripts and looking forward to more opportunities to perform and direct fun and meaningful content. |
