An outsider to traditional theatre, Steve Mahone broke into the Dallas theatre scene with the Hard City Theatre, applying a punk rock aesthetic to live theatre shows. Awarded the Dallas Theatre Critics' Forum Award for Best Director 1996, Steve specialized in forgoing traditional sets and venues.
Directed shows include:
A minimalist experimental gender-swapped production, retooled for three distinctly-different venues
An original, experimental adaptation, with a cast of 3, set entirely on the Mary Shelley novel’s ship bound for the North Pole.
A minimalist, modernist production, in the round, with no staging save two modern floor lamps and a stainless steel bowl of water on a low Japanese table.
The third-ever production granted permission by the Anthony Burgess estate, staged in a dance club.
