PERFORMER
BIOGRAPHY
Comfortable in both operas and musicals as well as in comedic or dramatic roles, Steven Morton is recognized as a generous and dynamic performer with a bright and dreamy, lyric tenor voice. His stage craft and musical prowess has been developed through numerous roles on and off the stage in addition to choral work, including three years as the director of Fresh Blend a cappella.
Steven is passionate about learning what makes effective theatre. He cares deeply about clear and meaningful storytelling as well as high quality, entertaining performances and production value.
Steven currently performs as a church soloist, teaches privately, and can be seen on stage with a variety of theatre companies in Calgary. His critically acclaimed one-person show, "Drag Me to the Opera," will be touring to the Winnipeg Fringe in July 2023.
