JAMES P. DARVAS
Actor
James P. Darvas has been in love with the theater for the past 30 years. His career began in Cleveland , Ohio, where he had the opportunity to work with and study under directors from all over the world. He moved to San Diego 6 short years ago and has been lucky enough to learn different approaches from a multitude of creative geniuses. Some of his most favorite roles include: Mark in The Shadow Box, John in The Violet Hour, Willum in The Nerd, Howie in Rabbit Hole, Magda in Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, and Ivanna in Deconstruction of a Drag Queen.
James has had the privilege of entering the world of direction recently. His directorial debut was Landford Wilson’s Burn This and he most recently directed Rabbit Hole. Both experiences have fueled his desire to direct more often.
Storytelling has always been a passion of his. Being a founding member of The New Group West is an opportunity for him to find stories that reach a large audience of people and evoke emotions that all people can relate to.
