With personal and humorous storytelling, Stachel embodies many characters from his life and shares his journey with identity, anxiety, and success.

In addition to TV roles on shows like Blue Bloods, Jessica Jones, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Stachel is best known for his Broadway-debut performance in The Band’s Visit, winning the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in 2018.

He debuted Other, previously titled Out of Character, at Berkeley Rep in California in 2023. He took the production to Washington D.C.’s Theatre J, co-presented with Mosaic Theater Company, and the Berkshire Theatre Festival in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, in 2025.

Tony Taccone, who staged those iterations, returns to direct. Other also features scenic design by Afsoon Pajoufar, lighting and projection design by Alexander V. Nichols, and sound design by Madeleine Oldham.
