Working alongside his wife and three daughters, he has produced such notable plays as Farragut North at the Atlantic Theater Company and Harold Pinter's The Homecoming, which appeared at the Cort Theatre on Broadway. The Homecoming received three Tony Award nominations, including Best Revival of a Play.

Joseph Piacentile got his start in the entertainment business as a member of the American Federation of Musicians. Today, in addition to producing, he has turned his attention to supporting the performance careers of his three daughters, all of whom are members of the Screen Actors Guild and Actors' Equity. Mr. Piacentile's daughters have appeared in more than 30 productions in and around New York.

Before beginning his work with LB Theatricals, Joseph Piacentile spent several years serving at Medix Resources, a company that developed software and technologies designed to reduce waste and increase efficiencies in patient care processes. His responsibilities included sales and business development of software and processes related to Electronic Medical Records and electronic prescribing. Piacentile's work supported efforts to help reduce costly and dangerous adverse health events due to avoidable errors like drug-to-drug interactions and handwriting problems on prescriptions and charts.

Prior to joining Medix Resources, Joseph Piacentile spent nearly two decades in private practice, working in clinics in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. He earned his M.D. from the Georgetown University School of Medicine and completed a residency in general surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Joseph Piacentile has given his time to helping others in need of medical services. He has personally contributed to several campaigns that provide medical services to underserved patients around the world, including Medical Mission International, Flying Doctors of America, Forward Edge International, and missions with Beth Israel Medical Center. Piacentile's next medical mission to El Salvador is scheduled for early 2013. His work with the Piacentile Family Foundation provides funding for organizations including Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and the Tourette Syndrome Association.
