Artistic Director Scott Schwartz adds, “Over my first two years as Artistic Director at Bay Street, I have so enjoyed getting to know and work with Steve as a member of our Board.  He is passionate about theater, and is a strong and inspiring leader.  I'm thrilled to now have the opportunity to work with him as Chair as we move into our 25th Anniversary and beyond."
