ABOUT DAPHNE
All of the World is
My Stage
Since the age of 4, Daphne Ferraro has been dressing like a girl and telling people she was going to be a "Solid Gold Dancer." Her family encouraged her to make silly faces and act ridiculous as a young gay boy, and now she's made a career of it as drag queen.
Daphne got her start performing in high school theatre and later became a Disney character actor, opening Fantasmic! at the Studios in Orlando. After her Disney days, she moved on to working in the dinner theatre circuit, earned a BFA in Fashion Design & Marketing, interned with Vera Wang, and then entered the corporate world for a 15+ year career in Marketing, Project Management and Operations.
With a mix of professional, design and stage experience, she's a unique right/left brain mix. This balance allows her to not only imagine, but also execute, her wacky ideas. Daphne designs a lot of her own costumes, mixes her own audio, and even edits a little video on the side.
Daphne has always been considered a character actor, and comedy is a common theme in her performances. She likes to keep things light, fun and "fantastical", and doesn't mind poking fun at herself (and others) for entertainment.
"The audience is the best judge of anything. They cannot be lied to. Truth brings them closer. A moment that lags - they're gonna cough."
