Old school performer, Lee Ross, someone who has influenced a generation of performers and opened pitches in New York, Boulder, New Orleans and beyond sat down with another old school performer, Dana Smith. He’s a fascinating guy who, as a performer, has done it all. He shared pitches with the likes of A. Whitney Brown, Bill Irwin, Shields and Yarnell, Robin Williams, and Harry Anderson just to name a few.
He talks about the rise and fall of the street scene in San Francisco, the beginnings of English Bay in Vancouver, writing novels and so much more.
