DiMAGGIO HOUSE CREATIVE

Born and raised on the sunny beaches of L.A., I had many failed attempts at being both a surfer and a blonde. Fortunately, I also had an insatiable hunger for all things theatrical...

STEPHANIE DIMAGGIO

Whether auditioning for the school play or telling a tall tale to get out of gym class, I could flat out deliver a story. So I ditched running track to run the drama club and won a trip at age 16 to perform Shakespeare at the storied Lincoln Center in New York City.

It was love at first sight.

Ten years later, shortly after earning my MFA from New York University's prestigious Graduate Acting Program, I made my Broadway debut as an actor and optioned my first screenplay as a writer. My artistic credits span more than a decade of work in America’s top theaters, television, film and digital content.

Among the highlights is starring opposite Nick Offerman in the world premiere stage adaption of A Confederacy of Dunces produced by Stephen Soderbergh and my role in the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway revival of Stephen Adly Guirgis' Jesus Hopped The A Train  (NYT Top 10 Productions of the Year). You can currently catch me reoccurring on Season 2 of the Facebook Watch series Strangers and TVLand's Younger.

As an author, my most recent play ANOTHER SHORE was given a two week developmental workshop with The Old Globe/MFA Program, directed by Mark Brokaw (Broadway’s CINDERELLA). My first play 17 ORCHARD POINT (co-author) had its world premiere Off-Broadway in 2014 starring Tony-Award Winner Michele Pawk, directed by Stella Powell-Jones (Artistic Director, Jermyn Street Theatre, London). My other works have been developed at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, Atlantic Theater Company, Wheelhouse Theater, The Lark, Playwrights Realm and the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center.

I am also a featured contributor in two books: Acting Teachers of America: A Vital Tradition and Performance of the Century: 100 Years of Actors Equity Association. 

I proudly served on the acting faculty of my alma mater, Fordham University at Lincoln Center, for nine years and most recently in the film department of Belmont University in Nashville, TN. I am also the founding Program Director of the Big Sky Theater Workshop in Big Sky, Montana. 

In all my pursuits, I am fueled by that passion for storytelling and a belief that collaboration is the most rewarding art form.
