This is Taylor’s 14th SPF and working with the talented Road actors is one of the main reasons he returns each summer… the other is an opportunity to work with playwright Erik Gernand. This is Taylor’s fourth time working with Erik, most recently they collaborated on the main stage production of The Totality of All Things. Taylor is an award winning short filmmaker and and theatre director, but when he is not directing he pays the bills acting on recent shows such as Pen15, Perry Mason and the films Goldmine and Rise. He produces and co-hosts a radio show and Pod cast Bike Talk that is everything urban planning and bicycles and can be found at Biketalk.org or wherever you listen to stuff.
