His dark, one-act LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY was produced on a special AEA/SAG contract as it was made into a Zoom-Hybrid Movie by Out Of The Box Theatrics, The HolmDale Theatre Company, and was directed by Fredi Walker Browne.
A reading of Mr. Stewart's and writing partner, Jeff Zelmanski's musical book; THE UNTITLED 1969 MUSICAL PROJECT IN BETHYL NY, (an historical retelling of the epic concert in Aug of 1969) was produced by The Patchogue Theatre. That work-in-progress got a standing ovation! Thank you Patchogue Theater!
After 3 years of research, Mr. Stewart & Jeff Zelmanski just completed a unique theater-piece called NEW YORK STORIES FROM MY UNCLE ELLIOTT-ILLEGAL, IMMORAL, ILLICIT. Designed for eight, racially diverse actors, it uses narration, one-act plays, playlets, and monologues to tell multiple stories that span over a century. All searching for a portion of "NYC's Queer-DNA." Using historical fiction to tell the illegal, little known stories of average homosexual men, (we nicknamed them "ELLIOTT") who lived, loved, thrived, hid, fought, supported by allies, and died to help queer-life survive.
Screenplays Sci-Fi Thriller: PROJECT #6, A slacker comedy:CRACKER SLACKER. A teen-comedy: DRAMA CLUB.
