Sterling Houston was a dear, kind, talented gentleman who will be missed by The Renaissance Guild. We had the pleasure to co-produce his premiere of The Living Graves which was our opening play for the 2005 – 2006 season and we also proudly produced one of his one act plays Miz Johnson & Mr. Jones for our ActOne Series.
Sterling was a positive person and a wealth of knowledge,
the San Antonio community will be lacking without his presence.
We extend our prayers to his family.
