In the sequel to his acclaimed one-man show, "Blue Collar Bay", Stephen Axelrod takes you on a peril-fraught trip from a tough childhood in Queens to life in the Marine Corps, an insider's place on the New York Stock Exchange, and finally through his struggles as an aspiring actor. |
In my “Arrow of Light” Stephen Axelrod is a third generation Daily News truck driver, a high school drop out, a former Marine, he lands on Wall Street where he becomes a high rolling broker with a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. Ultimately he gives it all up to pursue his dream of a higher calling …to be an actor. “My Arrow of Light” is autobiographical and a testament to a life brought forward through hand-to-hand emotional combat.
His natural gifts for story telling and his passion for uncovering the truth of his personal quest are resourceful, funny and obsessively honorable. He is above all, a polished hard-edged performer.
“My Arrow of Light” is a New York story, with specific time, place and culture, but timeless in its theme, audience’s young and old have responded to cultural chords and themes.
