Steve Ellens will present "Meet Dan West"

Steve Ellens, of Master Arts Theater, will be presenting the monologue "Meet Dan West" at the Market this year. With decades of experience in more that 50 plays, he is sure to capture the spirit of Heifer's visionary founder. Steve is already preparing for the role by listening to recordings of Dan West speaking and rehearsing the script. He is hoping to find a video of Dan to further enable him to bring the character to life.
This isn't a new kind of project for Steve, he was also tapped to present a monologue about an influential doctor at Butterworth Hospital. Steve has directed plays and appeared in commercials. Working with Master Arts Theater seemed like a natural choice. "It’s basically a Christian Theater. They do good work, nothing half-way. I liked acting before so it was a double benefit, I could do Christian work and still act." Working with the troupe has also opened other doors for Steve expanding his career.
Steve's favorite Heifer animal is the cow. He was a farm boy for eighteen years, growing up with Holsteins. We're so glad that Steve will be able to bring some of Heifer's history to life.
