For New Phoenix Theatre-LA: Mr. Gibbs in Arsenic & Old Lace.

Despite a promising start with appearances in Georgetown University’s Mask & Bauble theatre club productions along fellow classmates as Frank Tobin, Bill Bremer and Louis Fantasia, Steve Kurdziel’s budding acting career was sidetracked into a life in the federal judiciary.

Steve and his wife Karen live in Shaker Heights, Ohio, and are parents of one daughter and grandparents of four. To the irritation of his wife, he still likes to recite lines over the actors when watching TCM.
