Steve Tyler has been cast as the quintessential straight man in many Farrelly Brother films including Kingpin, There?s Something About Mary, Me, Myself & Irene, Shallow Hal, Stuck on You and The Three Stooges. Other film roles include Boys Life 3, River Made to Drown In, Journey of Jared Price, Perfect Ending and Elena Undone. Tyler has recurred in such popular television series as ?Desperate Housewives,? ?Days of Our Lives? and ?General Hospital.? Tyler started his career modeling; his stint as the KOOL cigarette man, in the worldwide billboard and print campaign, quickly defined his jocular charisma and wide range appeal in the commercial marketplace he has appeared in over 1,000 print campaigns and television commercials worldwide. As well-known off-screen, as he is on, Tyler was a 30-year volunteer Jewish Big Brother to little brothers Eric and Shaun and national spokesman for Big Brothers of America. Using his status as an established actor and activist, he has produced theatrical benefit events that include: DeGeneres - de Rossi - DeGeneres Art Show, Ellen DeGeneres LIVE in Concert, Flowers Food and Art at the Estate of Connie Stevens and star-studded staged readings of Boys in the Band and two previous readings of Valley of the Dolls. Tyler co-founded Playwrights? Arena, a renowned non-profit theater company that discovers and nurtures LA Playwrights, artists, and designers. Playwrights Arena and Tyler?s productions have been the recipients of numerous Drama awards for its original productions - many of which have gone on to premiere to critical acclaim off-Broadway. Tyler originated the roles of Jason Lawrence in ?First Couple? at The Tiffany Theater and the role of Joseph Willacombe in ?The Cat?s Meow? at The Coast which later became a film directed by Peter Bogdonavich. Born in Brookline, Massachusetts Tyler continues to be an active force in fundraising for philanthropic and political arenas, while balancing his acting career. He proudly champions elected officials, political candidates, and causes that support equality for women, children, LGBTQ, animal, and human rights. He is very proud to be currently serving as Board of Directors Co-Chair for Alcott Center for Mental Health in Los Angeles.

Review: THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL at Fairfield Center Stage

I was fascinated from the moment I first heard that Fairfield Center Stage was going to perform a musical called THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL, as I did not previously know that such a musical existed.  What I knew, however, is that if it is being put on by Fairfield Center Stage, it is going to be a phenomenal production!   On Friday, June 17th, I had the pleasure of experiencing Fairfield Center Stage’s continued commitment to providing excellent theater that goes that extra mile, when I saw THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL on opening night, at Fairfield Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, CT.   Director Joel Fenster, musical director Benjamin Doyle, choreographer Lindsay Johnson, artistic director Christy McIntosh-Newsom, and Executive Producer Eli Newsom all combine their talents with the rest of the crew and this stellar cast to give the audience yet another first-rate performance!
