BIO:

I'm originally from the NYC Metro, grew up in the Tampa Bay Area, and spent many years in Miami where I developed a taste for tropical weather, hurricanes, and broadcast television.

My first experience in TV was in Tampa where I interned during high school. Afterwards, I left the Suncoast for Hurricane Alley to study weather at the University of Miami while at the same time earning a second bachelor's degree from Mississippi State University. I worked at UM's Rosensteil School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, an institution known for it's research. A final TV internship in Miami solidified my interest in broadcasting. I've been lucky enough to work in all 3 of my "home" cities from WFOR-TV in Miami to WTSP-TV in Tampa and NBC WeatherPlus in the NYC Metro. Additionally, I have a passion for chasing hurricanes and tropical storms, but I've also chased snow in the north and storms in the plains for a well balanced diet. These days, I am focused on developing social media content and reside in Italy.

Mike Lesser, artistic director, actor, writer, producer, entrepreneur.

Mike created the PGE 10 years ago. He saw the need for writers who didn't know actors and needed them to further their work. Actors need words and it was a perfect coupling, starting in a coffee shop!

The PGE is now the resident theatre company at the Marjorie Dean Theatre on the upper west side of Manhattan. The PGE has many programs and has published 6 volumes of Faces Of America monologue books for actors, heading into it's seventh year this fall. There are programs that support writers no matter what level you are on, and actors to perform the work.

The PlayGround Experiment is a home for theatre artists to explore, test, and develop new work while finding inspiration and support from the community that it creates.

Artist relationships thrive in a safe, inclusive environment, strengthened by diversity and an ability to be ourselves. We must do everything we can to take daily action in creating a space where everyone has the opportunity to do their absolute best, as well as the freedom to make mistakes/missteps. Our hope is that each artist has the time, space and chance to find structure, heart, and truth whether as a writer, actor, director or patron.

The PGE is a home that you come back to when you need to recharge, start something new, or just be among your family.

We are a New York City based company with members all over the world. Thanks to modern technology we now have the ability to connect with our PGE family at most of our events. No matter where you are, you always have a Home with us at The PGE.

He is co-founder of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance and executive director of Paradigm Research Group, a 501c3 non-profit providing education, consulting, analysis and political activism for a post-Disclosure world.

In 2013 PRG organized and conducted a "Citizen Hearing on Disclosure" at the National Press Club in Washington. In November of 2014 PRG launched a two-year political initiative out of Washington, DC that injected the ET issue into the 2016 presidential campaign.

In December 2023, Steve Co-Founded The Hollywood Disclosure Alliance in Los Angeles, a new, media-centric organization aiming to align those working within the UAP/ET research arena with writers/directors/producers working across every facet of the global entertainment industry.

PRG is presently working to help bring about ever more comprehensive congressional hearings in the U.S. House and Senate for a growing list of UAP witnesses.
