Members Out in the World: Steve Smith

I’ve been involved with theater since 1975 when I was in school at Boulder, Colorado as a creative writing major. I got involved in Touring theater originally as a writer, not an actor.

I had written a play, Prints, that was produced several times. After a summer in the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, I was able to take off on this amazing Colorado Caravan adventure with five other actors in a van doing shows and workshops in practically every school in the state.

This work eventually produced an MA in Developmental Theater. It was great fun, an excellent way to get to know all of Colorado, and the means to become deeply comfortable with performing.

The current play, Yards and Porches, has had several Zoom readings during the pandemic. Set in Boulder, it takes off and goes to Alaska, Washington DC, and then eventually to a nebulous place….a waiting place. Eventually, it lands on the primary value of facts, justice, and kindness.
