This week on the Bedford & Sullivan podcast, we welcome Fort Hamilton native and NYC theater artist Stephan Morrow.
Ironically meeting him serendiptiously at a cafè at the base of the Hollywood sign in LA, Stephan moved to Shore Road and 96th St in Brooklyn at age 5, going to school with Duke Snider's kids. After his parents split up when he was 8th grade, Brooklyn slowly faded from his life after getting into Stuyvesant High School, but left an indellible impact on the rest of it. He was drawn to the trenches of the working artists of NYC and eventually found his way to the off-off broadway scene, both as an actor and a playwright.
We'll discuss his early years in Brooklyn as well as his artistic endeavors.
So, listen in to the latest edition of the Bedford & Sullivan podcast!
