John Capo (Creator, Writer, Producer, Director), winner of the 2011 New York Television Festival/Writers Guild of America Pitch Contest for his concept for The RAs. He has been writing, producing and directing since the age of 16.

John directed Frank Gilroy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama The Subject Was Roses which Backstage praised for its “compelling depth, strong performances and vigorous portrayals”. Talkin’ Broadway said “Capo has directed the production thoughtfully and created with his actors a number of sublimely moving moments. This The Subject Was Roses is relevant and worth savoring while it lasts.” OOBR praised the “outstanding directing” and called the production “highly recommended”. The following year, he directed Terrence McNally’s showbiz farce It’s Only A Play. Talkin’ Broadway said “Capo’s portrayal and choice of shows proves he's more than willing to tackle unusual challenges.” Theatre Resources Unlimited said “The multi-talented Capo captures a dark, quirky quality that works quite well.” The production was praised as “remarkably solid” (Theatermania) and for its “welcome hilarity” (NYTheatre.com).

That year, John’s first play Tricks of the Trade premiered at Greenwich Village’s famed Duplex. The Drama Review said "Capo's witty and topical writing is at its best when it bounces and lashes from the mouths of his characters while simultaneously weighted down by an unbearable yet identifiable angst. With all its angst, shame and guilt disguised by wit, humor and sex, Tricks of the Trade is a telling and timely love story.” NYTheatre.com said “Capo is not afraid to push the envelope. He has written many cutting and topical jokes that kept the audience laughing throughout.” The Blade said “Capo is onto something. He conveys—without directly saying so—a sense of foreboding about the future of their lives in the face of an Orwellian never-ending war on terror, ever-diminishing job prospects and a been-there-done-that world-weary culture.”

He is the author of four other plays that have been produced in New York: Things Beautiful and Wrong for 24 Hour Plays, Endings, The Last Moment of the Rest of Your Life and Extreme Duress, which won John the distinction of Best Brooklyn Writer by BrooklynOne Film + Theater. Other directing credits include ‘night, Mother, The Vagina Monologues, Mommies’ Boys, Adjustment Reaction to Adolescence (with Displaced Aggression) and Around the Block.

He attended the film and theater conservatory at SUNY Purchase, where he graduated with a B.F.A. in dramatic writing and studied with Lloyd Richards, A. Dean Bell, J. D. Zeik, Ed Pomerantz and Eric Mandelbaum. He is a proud member of the Writers Guild of America East.

Episodes for this new web series will be released on Thursdays starting September 8, 2011
