Bringing drama to L.A. theaters
Tony-winning writer Steven Levenson has had a meteoric rise on stage and screen.
Steven Levenson’s daughters love to flick the medallion of his Tony Award to watch it spin in its frame.
He was raised on visits to “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Starlight Express” and “Rent,” but at 38, his life as a writer working with some of theater and film’s biggest names is beyond any of his boyhood dreams.
“Oh, my goodness,” he says, thinking back to his younger self: “I don’t think he could have really imagined any of that.”
