About Me

Over the past several years, I have become known as one of the most outspoken advocates of Los Angeles theater. As an Ovation Awards voter for two seasons (2005-2007), I attended and voted on over 375 productions. Since 2004, I have "been to thetheater" over 800 times. As an actor, I have appeared on manyLos Angeles area stages: the Lilian, the Actor's Group Theatre, the Stephanie Feurie Studio Theatre, the Gardner Stages, the Powerhouse Theater, the Complex, the Sierra Madre Playhouse, and the Whittier Center Theatre. It was my desire to create a website which would celebrate the richness of our Los Angeles theater scene which led me to create LAStageScene.com, the website which"accentuates the positive in Los Angeles theater." I am also the author of Moroccan Roll, a novel (available at BarnesAndNoble.com and Amazon.com.) Moroccan Roll, a novel by Steven Stanley, tells about a year in the lives of 4 Americans and 3 French living in Morocco circa 1976. Lots of love triangles, straight and gay, a lot of local color (upon finishing the novel, the reader will know everything he/she ever wanted to know about Morocco), and some very steamy sex.Premade MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
