About David Staller

David Staller is the founding artistic director of New York's Gingold Theatrical Group, now in its 19th year. GTG was founded to embrace inclusion and diversity and continues to present and create work dedicated to giving voice to all members of society. GTG presents the monthly Project Shaw, the annual Shaw New York festival, which includes a fully-staged off-Broadway production, and several other Shaw-related events in and around New York City. These include scholastic partnerships with the Regis school and the Broome Street Academy. GTG’s new play development programs are also overseen by Staller. David may just be the only person to have directed performances of all of Shaw's 65 plays. He has acted in three Broadway plays, more than 50 off-Broadway plays, in London at the National, and has directed and produced theatrical events around the world. In his remote youth he was a dancer with the Joffrey Ballet, a cellist in the Rostropovich master class, a staff script writer for Turner Entertainment (and continues to write for several film and television production companies), has performed several times at Carnegie Hall as a soloist, is an adjunct professor at the New York University at Stony Brook teaching Shaw as an extension of their Ethics and Humanities programs, and is a frequent speaker on the international stage about human rights, free speech, and all things Shaw. GTG is a 501.c.3 non-profit organization. For more information please visit our website or contact our office. 212-355-7823 / dstaller@gingoldgroup.org /
