He has worked as an actor for Stage One Family Theatre, Kentucky Shakespeare, and Bunbury Theatre.
Steve Woodring was the Director of Production and Consulting at the Kentucky Center for the Arts, and has directed many productions for Bunbury Theatre, including the upcoming production of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame, which opens January 30 and runs through February 15 at The Henry Clay Theatre on the 3rd floor of the Henry Clay building.
Endgame is an absurdist, tragicomic one-act play by the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett. First performed in London in 1957, it is about a blind, paralysed, domineering elderly man, his geriatric parents, and his servile companion in an abandoned house in a fictional post-apocalyptic wasteland, all of whom await an unspecified "end".
