In June 2011, he presented an AEA-approved reading of a revised version of Donna at the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity in the East Village, where it was nominated for a "Best Direction" award.

From 2010 to 2012, Stacy fronted the hot swing group The Sizzle Sticks and music directed and performed in the popular annual Pam Monk's Forbidden Valley satirical revue.  He has also served as the pit guitarist for productions of A Man of No Importance, Smokey Joe's Cafe, Little Shop of Horrors, Dreamgirls, Bye-Bye Birdie, The Fred Waring Radio Show, and Hello, Dolly for organizations such as Penn State Centre Stage, 4th Wall Music Theatre (Bloomfield, NJ), Fuse Productions, and the Nittany Valley Symphony.
