About Us

Stacy Whittle

Stacy is a natural-born storyteller—a writer, director, actor, and producer who has spent much of her life working internationally. She has lived in four countries and worked in more than a dozen. At 16, she landed her first professional acting role in a TV special on teen pregnancy. She also appeared on the History Channel in an episode of Haunted History: New York. During her senior year of high school, she lived in Argentina.

She attended CUA and GWU, studying anthropology while continuing to perform. She received a nomination for the Irene Ryan Acting Award for her role as Lucy in Dracula. She also became one of the youngest students at CUA to participate in an archaeological expedition in Maui. The team uncovered a fishing village over 1,000 years old, and that work is now permanently installed at the Maui Historical Society.

After graduating, she worked as a field archaeologist, conducting cultural resource assessments ahead of major construction projects. She later earned her MPA at Middlebury’s Monterey Institute of International Studies with a focus on international economics.

Following graduate school, she worked on a water project at the Middle East Institute at Harvard’s Kennedy School. She traveled extensively and developed a deep familiarity with water management challenges across the Middle East. She then worked at Save the Children.

She subsequently moved to Ireland, where she returned her focus to theater, performing in short plays in Dublin and doing voiceover work in Limerick. After living in Ireland, she moved to Bahrain, where she co-founded an organization called Culture Vultures. The group brought art, literature, music, and opera to the Persian Gulf.

After returning to the US, she worked at the Society for International Development before transitioning into creative work. Her early film work included a significant collaboration with NASA on a GIS project. She worked at several creative agencies before founding her own company, Block of Love. Over the past four years, she has produced films almost full-time, particularly for the Forest Service and related partners, while continuing to act, direct, and write.

She has performed in dozens of plays in D.C. and has received award recognition for her work. Waiting for Godot, which she co-directed and produced, was a Helen Hayes-recommended show. She also appeared in a Helen Hayes Award–winning production. Her latest film project involved directing world-class tenor Rolando Villazón while he was directing La Sonnambula at Lincoln Center, creating a short film on the importance of trees in cities.

Stacy is the proud mom of two incredible sons.
