AR’DARIUS STEWART

ALL GLORY TO GOD! I am a purpose filled man from Abbeville, South Carolina whom found passion in the art of acting. I thank God for this moment to perform with TampaRep. I dedicate my performance to my bonus mom, Roberta Howland. Your love and prayers have wrapped me up and carried me to this point. You are God’s gift to the world and so many people can attest to this. I love you so much Mrs. Roberta! IG: @Darius_Dreams
