Visit The www.themarsh.org for more information. Born and raised in England before coming to America in the 1970a??s, Hoyle has had a fascinating career and at this point has become a veritable Bay Area institution.

BroadwayWorld recently caught up with Hoyle by phone from his home in Inverness, California.
