STEVE ANDERSON is a full-time, professional, non-union actor with twenty years of performance experience.
He does stage plays, musicals, commercials, films, voiceovers--a total of 1,000 live performances a
year... or more.
He's appeared on stage in more than one hundred roles, including leading roles
in Blithe Spirit, Dr. Cook's Garden, and The Compleat Works of Willm Shakspr (Abridged). Now
a resident of central Pennsylvania, he has performed throughout the midstate: at major regional theatres
like the Mount Gretna Playhouse, at smaller professional theatres like Open Stage of Harrisburg and the
Harrisburg Shakespeare Festival, at community theatres like Oyster Mill Playhouse, York Little Theatre,
and Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg, even on board a moving train.
On film, he’s seduced
the innocent as the title character in a film adaptation of Tartuffe, sneered at mere humans as a featured
alien in the sci-fi feature Dark Ops, and hoodwinked the unsuspecting as a crooked telemarketer and
an embezzling lawyer in a series of cautionary videos. He's also given five hundred live blue-screen
performances with Ham On Rye Virtual Theatres and appeared in a variety of commercials, videos, and print
ads, as well.
Unbounded by scripts, Steve thrives in improv and interactive theatre. He’s racked
up nine years performing at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, four years as a storyteller in Gettysburg,
and thousands of hours as an interactive performer at Hershey's Chocolate World, where he's recently
stepped up to the role of Senior Coordinator of the interactive "Kiss Works" attraction.
Although
he does play well with others, Steve has also developed his own series of touring one-man shows: A
Christmas Carol, Edgar Allan Poe--Live!, and others, collectively known as Great Tales Live.
And he's also a very busy voice actor (or voiceover artist, if you prefer), as well. He's voiced leading
and supporting roles in dozens of radio plays, narrated a dozen mid- and full-length audiobooks, done
radio imaging for more small stations than he can count, and voiced a variety of commercials, voicemail
greetings, on-hold messages, film dubs, and more.
Finally, drawing on his years as a college
professor, Steve is also an acting coach. He’s taught improv classes, workshops, and summer camps
for children, teens, and adults at theatres throughout the midstate ; acting technique, scene study,
and Shakespeare for teens and adults at Theatre Harrisburg and Penn State Kids College; helped to teach
interaction for his fellow merchants at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire; taught dramatic literature
at Gettysburg College, Elizabethtown College, and Harrisburg Area Community College; and even taught
theatre history at Susquehanna University, Emory University, and with the Commonwealth Speakers program.
Oh, and did we mention he’s a playwright? You can find out more about his plays, Remember the Ladies:
Wives of the Presidents and The Wolf Who Cried "Boy" on the Writing part of this site.
