John DuVall
One of John DuVall’s favorite quotes is “Art has the power to change the world,” and he has devoted his life to proving it. Having an artistic resume that spans 45 years has reinforced his conviction that a community’s strength is only as great as their collective culture. As an actor and director, he appreciates how important both are in the success of a production. The creator of two non-profit organizations (one of them a theatre company in Toledo, Ohio), John implicitly understands that to survive in the arts, you need to create as an artist, and plan as a business. John thrives when performing and creating visual art—a new addition to his repertoire since COVID restricted his theatre endeavors.
“We all have a role to play — why fit in, when you can stand out?” – John DuVall
