Kevin T. Collins:

THEATER
A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Kevin T. Collins began his career on the stage at the ripe old age of six, performing throughout his childhood and adolescence across the Bay Area in theaters such as Theatreworks in Palo Alto and San Jose Civic Light Opera, later the American Musical Theater of San Jose. He received numerous awards for Drama and Singing throughout Middle School, Junior High and High School, including AMT's Best Actor award for his portrayal of Groucho Marx in A Day in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine, and two Best Musical wins, for A Day in Hollywood, and The King and I (in which he played the King).
 
In 1997, Kevin applied and was accepted to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and he then spent three and half years studying at the CAP21 Musical Theater studio, followed by a semester at Stonestreet Film and Television. In 2001, after performing in numerous Tisch productions, including Camelot (Arthur), The Who's Tommy (The Specialist), City of Angels (Stine), and in his cross gendered portrayal of Jenny Diver in The Threepenny Opera on the Tisch Mainstage, he graduated with Honors with a BFA in Drama, and began his life in the real world.
 
Kevin's first professional work took him to the Outer Banks in North Carolina, where he spent two summers performing in Terrence Mann's The Lost Colony, the longest running show in the country (71 consecutive summers at the time). Upon his return to New York, he worked heavily in the Off-Off-Broadway scene, originating roles in new works such as Lucifer in Angels, Beelzebub in Paradise Lost, Chico in One Way Ticket to Hell, Jack/Jenkins in The Gathering Room, Robert in For Love of the Boy, Eddie in The Blonde, Steve in Library Play, 11 characters in Real Live Sex on Stage, 12 characters in Please Please Please Love Me, and countless others.

Later on, three of the shows Kevin has worked on for years, Angels, Brunch, and Paradise Lost, took huge leaps forward, and Kevin was asked to leap with them. Paradise Lost, in which Kevin created the role of Beelzebub in an Off-Off-Broadway production, multiple readings, and the official studio recording, got a new name and a new destination: Sophia's Fall played the New York Musical Theater Festival. Brunch the Musical, in which Kevin helped to create the role of Steve, the frantic restaurant manager, enjoyed a limited Off-Broadway run at the Chernuchin Theater in midtown Manhattan.
