Colin Hussey
looks
right at home in his gumshoe-esque fedora, standing at the foot of this
alley street, which shares his name in Dashiell
Hammett's old neighborhood - the Tenderloin. Colin is an actor who
believes the new and independent theatre scene in San Francisco is hotter
than ever. A recent stage appearance came in the First Annual Bay One Acts
(BOA) Festival, which showcased the work of thirteen Bay Area writers,
the same number of directors, ten local theatre groups and forty-five local
actors. Having lived more than 12 years in the same Tenderloin apartment,
Colin has roots here. He's proud to be part of a growing community of creative
people whose work here is not just training for New York or LA, but is
part of a commitment to further the strongest possible professional creative
climate right here in the City by the Bay. A short list of the things that
Colin loves about our town includes the wide variety of excellent
eating establishments within walking distance of his apartment, San
Francisco's beautiful views and mostly mild weather, and its neighborhoods.
Golden Gate Park, PacBell Park, Dolores
Park, and the carousel at Zeum/Yerba
Buena Gardens are also favorites. "There's a unique and irrepressible energy
to the City," he says, "and a strong, vibrant community that keeps me here." |
