Steve H. Broadnax III Director, Actor, Educator, & Writer

Director's Statement

"You don't know who you are until you see your own reflection." This motto is the cornerstone of my work. I am driven to present art that mirrors the complex human society in which we live. As an artist (Director/ Actor/Writer/ Educator/ Mentor) my aim is to reveal our human society with complexity and truth that celebrate our similarities and differences.
