| Steve Washington, singer-actor and native Washingtonian, has been performing since 1981. He has appeared in numerous productions. Highlights include West Side Story, Oklahoma, and Godspell. He became a member of Actors' Equity, the exclusive Broadway actor’s union, when cast in the Arena Stage production of Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along. He played Demetrius in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Shakespeare Theater at the Folger. As a principal in Sir Cameron Mackintosh’s Hey Mr. Producer, Steve appeared as the Engineer of Miss Saigon, Valjean of Les Miserables, and the Phantom. Steve has said, "tackling those roles under the guidance of Mackintosh himself remains one of the most rewarding experiences of my career."
In the 90s, Steve fronted several of DC’s top bands and orchestras. As such, Steve has shared billing with the Marvelettes, the Drifters, the Supremes, the Village People, Peter Noon, Gary Pucket, Orleans, comedian Steven Wright, and others.
Steve performs in the DC area's top night spots as a featured vocalist and with his own group, the Steve Washington Project. He has performed before Senator Dole, entertained at the 1998 NCSC Legislative Conference Banquet where President Clinton gave the keynote address, has had successful runs at Mr. Henry’s where Roberta Flack made her mark, and has appeared on several occasions at the famed Marquee Lounge and Fleetwood’s (Mic Fleetwood’s rock & blues club), both of which sadly are now history. Steve also performs annually at DC’s world-famous Blues Alley Supper Club to capacity crowds. Steve is a featured vocalist on other artist’s CDs and a requested demo vocalist for songwriters from DC to New York City. In 2002, Steve released his first CD entitled "Secretly", showcasing several of his original compositions, and is currently working on his second.
Since 2000, Steve has been cultivating an international audience entertaining on the high seas and touring with the Steve Washington Project.
