He co-starred (as Will Ogden) with [[Tyne Daly]] in the premiere of [[Terrence McNally]]'s ''[[Mothers and Sons (play)|Mothers and Sons]]'' at the [[Bucks County Playhouse]] in [[New Hope, Pennsylvania|New Hope]], [[Pennsylvania]]. It had a limited run of 14 performances from June 13 to June 23, 2013. The cast was interviewed by Theatre Sensation's Kelli Curtin: "Bobby Steggert plays the character of Will in this play. Steggert describes his character as, "a modern gay man where being a husband to a man and having children is a viable option. My character represents the progress that has been made in society. My character is strong willed, steadfast in point of view and I admire that about him." According to Steggert, this play is important because it is about relationships and families. He states, "Twenty years ago a play like this would be classified as a 'gay drama.' Now a play that addresses issues faced by gay people is mainstream. The characters in this play are interesting because they are people and not because of their sexuality." Steggert is hopeful that people that see this play will "broaden their definition of family after seeing ''Mothers and Sons'' through observing the family on stage."
