STEVE GILLIAM
(
Scenic Designer
) A professor
emeritus from Trinity University in San Antonio,
Steve returns to The Muny for his 20th season,
which also marks his official retirement from
summer stock! With Sam, his partner in life
and art, the Gilliams collaborate as a theatrical
design team, having designed 73 shows for The
Muny and a long list of favorites all over the
country, notably, four national tours of
Fiddler
on the Roof
. Their designs can also be seen at
other entertainment venues, such as Sea World
of San Antonio and the Texas State Aquarium in
Corpus Christi, where the stars are sea lions and
the divas are dolphins, otters and a particularly
temperamental walrus. Sam and Steve extend
deep thanks to the Muny family for the journey
that brought them to St. Louis, their second
home, and to the beauty of Forest Park all these
years. It has been a wonderful ride. Sam is a
member of Actors’ Equity Association and Steve
is a member of United Scenic Artists Local 829.
