Born and raised in Los Angeles, Darrin Revitz began her career early singing along to Annie at the age of 2 and wishing her life were a bit more "hard knock."
After signing with an agency at the age of 6, voiceovers, local theatre productions and print work quickly followed. Darrin was a featured model for the clothing company ID# appearing on billboards throughout Los Angeles.
By the age of 9, Darrin was boarding a plane by herself to New York for summers at French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts, where her love of theatre truly developed. 9 weeks a summer for 10 years were spent eating, sleeping and breathing the stage. From her first show Leader of the Pack, to her last, The Who’s Tommy, Darrin looked forward to sharing every summer with some of the most talented youth in the country. Many French Woods alumni have gone on to have successful careers in film and TV and on Broadway. Favorite shows included Merrily We Roll Along, Company and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (in which the brothers were all played by females).

During the school year, Darrin attended Harvard-Westlake, where a strong arts department further developed her acting and singing. Electives in high school included cinema studies, concert singers, dance and scene study. By the end of high school Darrin had appeared in numerous one-act festivals, Guys and Dolls, West Side Story and A Fiddler on the Roof.
Knowing that she found her passion early, Darrin sought colleges that offered BFA degrees with a conservatory training program.
This led her back to the East Coast and ultimately at Syracuse University.
Always seeking education, summers were spent performing and studying. After her first year, Darrin worked for a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre- during the salad course, she would choke on her water and be carried out of the dining room. Her sophomore summer was spent at The Hangar Theatre in Ithaca, New York where she was exposed to a wide range of material, from The Bacchae to Don Juan to MedeaMachine. Darrin’s junior year was spent abroad in London, England, where rigorous weekday training of dialects and movement were balanced with weekends consisting of traveling Europe. She stayed through the summer when accepted to a midsummer program at the British American Dramatic Academy in Oxford. There, she trained under some of England’s most renowned actors such as Jane Lapotaire, Alan Rickman, Fiona Shaw, Julian Glover and John Barton.
Upon graduating with honors holding a BFA Acting degree and a minor in Art History, Darrin moved back home to Los Angeles. With the support and unconditional encouragement of her parents, she began auditioning and living the life of an actress. Her first role was not far away, as Darrin was soon cast in the new musical Sneaux! The SINsational Gothic Figure Skating Musical at The Matrix Theatre. Directed by Andy Fickman, Darrin covered Kristen Bell in the title role and Christine Lakin as her sister and nemesis while also appearing in the ensemble.
Darrin followed up the musical with the 20th Anniversary production of St. Elmo’s Fire playing “Jules,” which was created on film by Demi Moore and the successful West Coast premieres of Like You Like It and Kirsten Childs's The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin. She then made her Broadway debut behind Linda Eder in her concert at The Palace Theatre.
Darrin created the role of “Clarissa,” one of the President's drug-happy twin daughters in the offensive, politically incorrect musical The Beastly Bombing. The show went on to win the LA Weekly Award for Best Musical of the Year 2006. That was followed by The Enlightenment (dir. Sue Hamilton) at the 1500-seat Carpenter Center, Mommy! Mommy! The Musical...Musical! (dir. Kay Cole), the Ovation-nominated West Coast premiere of Zanna Don’t! directed by Nick DeGruccio, and the Los Angeles premieres of the new musicals Twist and Beaverquest. This led to her first collaboration with director Richard Israel when she created the role of “Squeaky Fromme” in Assassins. The show went on to win the LADCC Award for Best Ensemble. Darrin followed Assassins with Tartuffe at The Theatre @ Boston Court and then quickly teamed up with Israel again on the West Coast premiere of Big: The Musical. Most recently, Darrin was fortunate to workshop to the new musical Scary Musical created by Richard Hochberg and Michael Paternostro.
Darrin’s screen debut was in the independent festival favorite “Cadence” and her television credits include a lead on the MTV Pilot “Freshman University,” David E. Kelley's short-lived “Girl's Club,” “The Chelsea Handler Show,” Hallmark’s “Sweet Nothing in My Ear” directed by Joseph Sargeant and ABC Family’s “The Middle Man.” She has done extensive voiceover work including the “Circle of Magic” book-on-tape series and an upcoming touring exhibit for the Smithsonian.
She currently lives in Los Angeles and is represented by Lewis & Beal Talent, The Savage Agency and The Osbrink Agency.
