His Best Theatre and Best Stage Director awards date back more than 10 years. Dave Steakley has grabbed the Austin theatre scene by the vocal cords and has issued peals of joy. Whether adding a special musical twist to an old favorite (such as his post-hurricane take on Porgy & Bess) or presenting fresh, new material (Keepin' It Weird), the groundbreaking productions under this Zach stalwart are sometimes hilarious, sometimes chilling, sometimes tender, or sometimes heartbreaking, but they're always gripping, riveting productions that keep our theatre scene among the best.
