He is currently an honorary board member at Red Sky Performance.The first evening, April 4th, will feature Soto reading from his intimate memoir Every Step You Take (2011), followed by a book signing and personal interview between Soto and Red Sky’s artistic director Sandra Laronde. On April 5th, there will be a screening of the critically acclaimed PBS documentary Water Flowing Together.
