One of my latest projects is grant consulting for the Italian-American Repertory Theater Company, a nonprofit celebrating Italian-American voices through theater productions in the New York City-Tri-State area. This one, in particular, is an opportunity to bring to fruition a passion project for a notable actor, producer and playwright from West of the Hudson River. In 1995, the Italian-American Repertory Theater Company (IARC) was founded by playwright, producer and actor John Fedele and producing director Lisa Defuso to provide Italian-American theater professionals, in New York City and New Jersey, the opportunity to work on productions promoting accurate and positive stories of their community in honor of their culture and heritage.
