Dan Rogers directs theater: classics, new plays, opera, and interactive multimedia experiences. He is the co-founder of the Brooklyn-based theater collective AntiMatter, and former General Manager of the Obie-Award-winning Vampire Cowboys Theater Company. He is a 2015 Drama League Fellow and holds an MFA in Directing from Brown University at Trinity Rep.

New York productions include premiers of The Fall of All Atomic Angels by Zach Rufa and The Stripperers by Eryk Aughenbaugh at the Public Theatre as part of the Brooklyn College Weasel Festival; Try This On For Me by Lee LeBreton, a show about why we dress the way we dress in a gigantic closet with an audience clothing swap; sixsixsix by Gregory S. Moss, a black mass staged in a 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Brooklyn and Prague; and Old Bones by Lee LeBreton, an immersive, augmented reality journey through Brooklyn.

With the Promenade Opera Project, he has staged Cendrillon (Cinderella) in a punk rock basement, La Sonnambula in a converted auto garage with a Ford Mustang entrance and an audience potluck, and an original adaptation of Mayakovsky’s The Bedbug at the Notch Biergarten.

With Broken Ghost Immersives, he has developed and directed several immersive social games. Part choose-your-own-adventure, part escape room, part live action role playing game, they allow the audience cooperate or compete to tell a story together. Credits include The Bunker, Rogue’s Gallery, and The Wake.

Assistant directing includes Tristan und Isolde at the English National Opera for Artistic Director Daniel Kramer, Jedermann, the centerpiece of the Salzburg Festspiele for Julian Crouch & Brian Mertes, and The Inexplicable Redemption of Agent G by Qui Nguyen at Incubator New York.

Dan plays trombone and just about every brass instrument. He’s an avid rock climber and boulders all over New England.
