About Me

Hey Queens, Kings and everyone in between! I’m Darren Escarcha Cajipo, an actor, singer, and educator based in Central Florida. With an MFA in Acting from UCF and a BA in Theatre from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, I love bringing big personalities, comedic characters, quirky charm, and heartfelt storytelling to the stage.Vocally, I’m a versatile performer whose sound spans from musical theatre to pop, rock, soul, gospel, R&B, and classical styles. Whether I’m making you laugh, tugging at your heartstrings, or belting out a showstopper, I love exploring the many colors of performance.I'm no stranger to having a good time. I’m passionate about storytelling, connecting with people, and bringing curiosity, humor, and a little extra personality into everything I do. When I’m not performing, you can find me teaching, learning, or finding my next creative adventure. Let’s make some theatre magic!

"a wonderful love letter to The Shining and it’s not afraid to poke fun at the things that just don’t make sense in the film.
The show highlights all of your favorite parts of the movie. Each scene contains a different musical number with catchy songs and laugh out loud lyrics. The cast does a great job of bringing the characters to life in a fun new way."- Dr. Phillips Patron
