Steve SCHEIDING
Marshalltown, IA
THE GLASS MENAGERIE
was Steve's debut as an Assistant Director. You may remember him as
Richard Bravo in THE BAD SEED. In 2003 Steve portrayed Uncle Ben in our
production of DEATH OF A SALESMAN. He started out by volunteering to
help make stage flats and later became the stage manager for Agatha
Christie's TEN LITTLE INDIANS. Pushed by the stage crew to get out under
the lights, his first acting experience on our stage was in A THOUSAND
CLOWNS. Steve has demonstrated his ability to be "thoroughly theatre"
by working on the "dark side of the lights" also as a member of the
lighting and sound crew in various productions. He can truly be
considered a "seasoned" thespian, as he has acted in numerous other
shows, including CRIMES OF THE HEART, ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, THE
FOREIGNER, THE GOOD DOCTOR, OF MICE AND MEN, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
EVER, GALA '97, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST,
