View Comments Kelcey Steele was performing on stages across the country, doing what he loved, when COVID-19 hit in March 2020. Within in a short period of time, Steele was laid off from his job as a lead dancer and choreographer in Kansas City and found himself traveling over 500 miles home to Cincinnati. “I was lucky because my parents have a room for me. I still have a room in a house that I could go to. That's not the same story for a lot of people. I realize how lucky I am.” Steele said. One after another, theaters and playhouses across the country began closing their doors to the public. What was once a constant space for arts and entertainment had become lifeless as creatives were forced to put their passions on hold.
