Who is Steven Saltsman?
Steven Saltsman is an improviser from Houston and, with Aaron Garrett, a co-founder of Pronoia Theater, which the pair established as an independent company devoted to making high-quality original theatre. He is also one of the three permanent players in Magical Lying Hour, the show Garrett created to blend acting with improv and to stay close to the city's improv scene; he shares that core with Garrett and Ruth Hirsch, while other performers rotate through. Away from that show, Saltsman is one of the founders of SARA, an improv supergroup made up of some of the most experienced improvisers in Houston, which he started with Autumn Clack and Ruth McCleskey among others.
