To make up for lost time, we have our first TWO HOUR YAY!!
Steve Ortiz is our next guest on a long delayed Yay – Steve is currently in rehearsals for Dreaming in Cuban (Central Works). Steve last worked with both Norman and I on The Baldwin Project, where he did wonderful work. Steve talks about his growing up in the bay, being a latino actor, his time in England and where he sees himself in bay area theatre today.
Steve can be reached on Facebook.
