Returning home, he collaborated with artists such as Barret O’Brien, RJ Tsarov, and Ryan Rilette. He also directed, alongside Arthur Mintz, a celebrated puppet adaptation of Amadeus, starring the brilliant actor Mark Krasnoff. Steve went on to a successful career in Los Angeles as an actor, writer, and producer. Credits include the critically acclaimed HBO series Togetherness, ABC’s Single Parents, Netflix’s Rebel Ridge, and PBS’s Funny Woman. Steve has written for both film and television, including the story for Disney’s hit Cruella. This production of Tiny Beautiful Things marks a meaningful return to his theatrical roots. He dedicates this performance to his son, Gus; to his hometown of New Orleans; and to the memory of Mark Krasnoff.
