VetStage Theatre Company Members

VetStage company members are made up entirely of veterans and prior military.  Some are still active members of the reserve forces.  In order to be a company member, one MUST have prior military experience.  Acting, writing, heck any type of creative experience is a plus, but NOT a requirement.  Through workshops, classes, labs, etc., company members can develop their inner artist, or volunteer in other ways.

John Di Fusco, USAF Vietnam veteran

Actor, Writer, Director, Producer

 

DiFusco created the critically-acclaimed Viet Nam play TRACERS, which he first directed at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles.   He again directed TRACERS at Joseph Papp’s Public Theatre (NY) where Jack Kroll of Newsweek called it, “a land mine of a play that blows complacency to shreds”.  TRACERS was published in Otis Gurney’s Ten Best Plays of 1984/85, by Dramatists Play Service and by Hill & Wang Publishers.  DiFusco has directed numerous productions of his play in the U.S. and abroad.  His screenplay of TRACERS has been optioned by First Addiction Film.  In 2001 he directed the 20th Anniversary production of TRACERS at the Odyssey Theatre, where it premiered.  (L.A. Weekly ‘Pick of the Week’ and Back Stage West “Critics’ Pick”).   Back Stage West wrote, “Riveting…TRACERS is as vivid, grim and powerful as it was 20 years ago!”  TRACERS continues to be produced by theatre companies throughout the U.S.  The play has been called by some ‘a modern American classic.’

Supporting the troops is more than a bumper sticker.
