Steve joined the PP's in 1989 when he moved to the area. His initial interest lay backstage and he started by getting heavily involved with stage lighting.

His plan was to gradually make his way onto the stage by way of walk on and bit parts, but (as often happens with ten plays a year to cast) he was called upon to make up a cast of three in the thriller "Dangerous Obsession" in October 1990.

Since then he has been involved in numerous plays either as a member of the cast or in one of the many backstage roles.

He has also taken several "extra" roles in local T.V. and film productions such as "Spender", "Firm Friends" and "Purely Belter".

In recent years he has taken a greater interest in Directing, and has directed "Neville's Island" (by Tim Firth Oct.98), "Trivial Pursuits" (by Frank Vickery Dec.99), "The Hand & The Word" (Animation April 2000), and "Straight & Narrow" (by Jimmy Chinn Feb.02). He is also married to fellow member Sue Hingley.
