Stepp Stewart Brings His Family Christmas Classic to the Virtual Stage December 18th at ASOULFULCHRISTMASLIVE.com
Saturday morning on WCLK's The Local Take, as part of our ongoing COVID19 stories, I speak with Stepp Stewart, a choreographer who has entertained us with soulful musicals throughout the years. Live performers have not been able to entertain during the Pandemic. Broadway shut down and isn't scheduled to open until Spring 2021. Summer festivals, holiday concerts, plays, everything has been put on hold. I ask Stepp, a veteran of the Broadway stage, how he has been impacted.
He exclaimed, "We hate it!"
He explained that artists and entertainers, like everyone else, have moved into a virtual environment. They are using technology tools from YouTube to Facebook to reach people, but many are not being paid.
