Steven Terrell, born Everett Lee McCan Jr. on December 6, 1929, embarked on a career in the entertainment industry in 1953, adopting the stage name Steve Terrell. He has been married to Else Gieske Walton since April 11, 1954, and they share two children together.
As he progressed in his career, Steven made the pivotal decision to leave the business in 1963, dedicating his life to his faith and commitment to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as inspired by Galatians 2:20. He went on to pursue higher education, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Education, followed by a Master of Arts degree in Theatre Arts with a focus on Directing and Playwriting.
Subsequently, Steven taught Speech and Theatre at two Christian universities, where he shared his knowledge and passion for the arts with his students. In 1972, he left his teaching position to found Lamb's Players, a street theatre troupe based in San Diego, California, which specialized in performing modern morality plays in a Medieval style.
Over time, the troupe expanded to include a range of artistic disciplines, including puppet theatre, mime, and dance. Later, a resident theatre was established, further solidifying the group's presence in the community. At the heart of Lamb's Players' mission was the desire to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others, leveraging the power of the arts to spread God's message.
