Director
Directing Reading Buddies
Sure, everyone eventually says "what I really want to do is direct!", but fun fact: Stacey's been at it for years.
After studying Directing at Fordham University, Stacey continued honing her craft in both live and recorded mediums. Her specialties are musical theater with visual storytelling -- often including elements of puppetry. Her staging has been called "brisk and inventive" (Talkin' Broadway) and "full-blown theater" (NY Times). But perhaps her favorite review comes from Theater That Matters, who said Rescue Rue is, "If Jonathan Larson directed Sesame Street" (if you know, you know). Stacey served as director of the Premiere Productions of Rescue Rue (Off-Broadway), Runaway Rue (LA/World Premiere), Ludo's Broken Bride (NYMF, Ars Nova), as well as Ink & Paint by Danielle E. Moore and The Girl & The Water Carrier by Ben Gown.
In the TV/Film/Digital space, Stacey served as co-director to the award-winning short Beach Day which in turn lead to a commission with Heather Henson's Handmade Puppet Dreams, called Cone of Shame. She also directed Liz Hara's HedgeHearts, a 30-min short film/pilot rom-com about two spike-crossed Hedgehogs, and the 2nd and 3rd seasons of The Reading League's Reading Buddies now airing on PBS stations across the country!
