Kevin Kling and Simone Perrin – After Hours

Kevin and Simone

Playwright, actor, author, storyteller, and cultural advocate, Kevin Kling is hailed as a Minnesota state treasure. His much-acclaimed work is infused with an innate sense of humor and reflects a remarkable spirit and resilient heart. Kling has been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, The McKnight Foundation, The Minnesota State Arts Board, The Bush Foundation, and The Jerome Foundation. Appearing often on PBS and Minnesota Public Radio, he is most proud of his work with Interact Center, a company that creates art in the spirit of radical inclusion. Kling was named the Minneapolis Story Laureate in 2014.
