BIO

Darryl Armbruster hails from the Pacific Northwest where he was cast as
the lead in the first play for which he ever auditioned and never
looked back. He got his feet wet in community theatre which took him
from Tacoma to Seattle in plays and musicals from Carousel and Side by
Side by Sondheim to Equus and The Shadow Box. Acceptance to the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts brought him to Los Angeles and from
there he went on to study with renowned acting teacher Harry
Mastrogeorge with whom he studied for another four years. His first
role on film was in The Revenge of the Red Baron with a then unknown
Tobey Maguire and the legendary Mickey Rooney. He continued with his
roots in theatre playing Barnaby Tucker in several productions of
Hello, Dolly! as well as establishing himself with the Elephant Theatre
Company in Hollywood. His work with the Elephants includes the hit show
7 Redneck Cheerleaders and his LA Weekly and ShowMag nominated turn as
Carlton Tanner in Dearboy's War with Chad Allen. Along the way he paid
the rent by working as an editor for Drama-Logue which offered him
limitless access to the theatre scene in Los Angeles. In 1998 he began
a six year run as a backup singer/dancer with the novelty act The Dan
Band in which he will still make occasional guest appearances. During
his tenure with The Dan Band he appeared in the film Old School, on
television in Two Guys and Girl and as a regular on Pajama Party for
the Oxygen Network, as well as countless live appearances in front of
Hollywood A-listers such as Steven Spielberg. Darryl is also a member
of The Theatre District and Scriptwrights as well as all three acting
unions.

Classical Theatre Lab to Present A FAMILY AFFAIR, Begin. 7/19

The Classical Theatre Lab and the City of West Hollywood present A Family Affair by Alexander Ostrovsky, adapted from a translation by Geroge R. Noyes, directed by Mel Green. Causing an uproar when published in 1850, this broad and irreverent Russian comedy of manners centers around a greedy merchant, Bolshov, who makes a fraudulent bankruptcy application in order to finance the lavish lifestyle of his bourgeois husband-hunting daughter. When Bolshov's accomplices run off with his assets and his daughter, he descends into professional and psychological ruin and is jailed. Upon his release, Bolshov, a new man ready to walk the straight and narrow, finds that his selfish and cantankerous family has not changed one bit.
