Daniel
Kushner.
Actor, Writer, Storyteller.
Hello!
My name is Daniel Kushner, and I am an artist based out of New York City. Working on both the stage and screen, my love of performing was clear ever since I was two, singing and dancing in my living room to Cats the musical on VHS. And I have not stopped since!
A recent graduate of Brown University (B.A. History), I am ever-curious about how we got to where we are today and what it means to be a human across different times and cultures. And in my opinion, the stage is the best place to ask these questions because when you are onstage you can find the rawest—and most beautiful—answers. That’s why I’m so passionate about my work.
So stay a while and explore! It’ll be fun!

Reviews:
“‘Miracle of Miracles’ has always struck me as one of the ‘Fiddler’ score’s few weak links, but Daniel Kushner, as the timid Motel the tailor, turns it into something special.”
Don Aucoin, Boston Globe
“The best Motel I have ever seen who delievered the best rendition of ‘Miracle of Miracles’ I have ever heard.”
Russell Flornce Jr. and Don Thrasher, Top 10 shows of 2022, Dayton Daily News
“The budding relationship between Tzeitel and Motel…provides audiences with a treat via a standout performance from Kushner…He charms in his awkward and adorable pursuit of Tzeitel, and his solo, ‘Miracle of Miracles,’ is memorable and heartfelt.”
