During a mid-pandemic drive from Reno to L.A. Steve is just trying to make it home (from his  husband's house in Nevada) when a freak snow storm turns the trip into a near-death experience. The journey is harrowing, absurd, thought provoking and funny, touching on issues of race, loss, grief, death, and loneliness. Snow: Black man. White Out Conditions reveals sharp truths about modern life, mortality, faith and what it means to survive.

“I couldn’t see. My car spun out. I thought I was going to die and I started questioning everything. Was I ready to say goodbye to everyone I loved? Had I wasted my life? Would I get an obit in the New York Times? Faced with the prospect of death I did what any respectable person would do: I wrote a show about it. It’s called SNOW: Black man. Whiteout conditions. It’s harrowing, funny, weird. And it premieres in January 2025 at the Potrero Stage in San Francisco as part of SoloFest. Come see it. Spoiler alert. I survived. Come see it anyway.”

What people are saying:

“SNOW is a piece whose depth sneaks up on you. It begins as a relatable story about getting caught driving in a snow storm, and suddenly you find yourself in the midst of a highly personal examination of the meaning and purpose of life. It’s moving, thought-provoking and funny; I could listen to Steve tell stories all day long!” – Laura Ekstrand, Artistic Director, Vivid Stage

“… it’s a thrilling story.” – Jon Gentry, 2024 Soaring Solo Social Impact Award winner at the Hollywood Fringe Festival for his one-person show BLACK BASTARD
