Dara Silverman
(She/Her)
Dara Silverman is a playwright, director, and the founding Artistic Director of Agile Rascal Theatre.

Since 2015, Dara has led more than 30 artists in creating original plays and touring them by bicycle, performing in over 50 cities and towns across the U.S.
In addition to her theater work, Dara runs Creative Structures, a consulting practice that supports fellow creatives with branding and design, narrative development, and project planning.
She holds an MFA from San Francisco State University and a BFA from NYU, and her work has been supported by a MacDowell Fellowship, The Wassaic Project, AIRIE in Everglades and the Santa Fe Art Institute; she was a 2020 Creative Climate Leadership participant, has led workshops at the League of American Bicycle’s Bike Summit, and has written for Artists and Climate Change and Adventure Cyclist Magazine.

Former Rascals
Over the past decade, many artists have called Agile Rascal their creative community and artistic home, many over multiple years and several projects. We deeply appreciate the ways these artists have contributed their talent, experience, and expertise to Agile Rascal.
