Kim Steele

Straight outta San Diego’s salty air, Kim grew up with sand between her toes and maybe a little too much sunshine. She ditched the west coast for a bit, studied acting at UCLA (because, you know, dreams), and then hopped over to New York to chase the kind of magic that only happens on a real stage. And she’s actually done it—made it onto Broadway, not just once, but in shows like Hadestown (yeah, the big Tony winner), My Fair Lady at Lincoln Center, and even belting it out in Summer: The Donna Summer Musical. Not to mention, she’s been all over the place—touring with Motown the Musical, and hitting legendary spots like the Hollywood Bowl and the Mark Taper Forum, which, let’s be real, are the kind of places actors daydream about when they’re stuck in traffic. What’s wild is the list of directors she’s worked with—heavy hitters like Phylicia Rashad, Jerry Mitchell, Bartlett Sher, Sergio Trujillo, John Rando. That’s not just name-dropping, it’s a straight-up masterclass in learning from the best. And, as if all that stage stuff wasn’t enough, Kim’s got a whole other side as a screenwriter. But she’s got a twist—her climate stories don’t just wallow in the usual “everything’s on fire and we’re doomed” routine. She digs deeper, finding the weird hope and stubborn spark in all that mess, which honestly feels like the kind of storytelling we need now.
