Steve Ray (he/him)
Steve graduated from Lincoln HS in 1965 and got interested in live performances and theater culture with the mid-70’s revival of Seattle theaters when his wife, Mary Gustafson, worked most venues as a professional dresser and local union president. He benefited by many “comps” to front row seats to the best touring shows like Phantom, Le Mis, Cats, as well as the cast parties and backstage gossip. As a retired facility management professional who doesn’t act, sing, or dance, he wants to keep our organization (people/place/process) in harmony.
