Steven recently expanded his theatrical repertoire to include directing and screenwriting.

He is also scheduled to co-direct Trap for the coming summer camp show.
Kennedy was one of four writers who participated in Lab Theater’s 24-Hour Screenwriting Project in 2021, producing the short film Enough, a parody of the process of writing a meaningful story in just 11 short hours and the tension that exists in all creatives between their competitive natures and the need to just have some good old-fashioned fun.
With a bachelor’s degree in theater from Florida Atlantic University, Steven’s next venture involves starting up a drama program at Lehigh Elementary School.
