Storyteller, playwright and actor Kevin Kling is one of the most beloved and celebrated voices of the American Heartland.

He built his reputation in the Twin Cities during the 1990s with his groundbreaking plays 21A and Fear and Loving in Minneapolis.

"I'm very excited about touring this region. It's my home, my community, where i learned about humor and what is sacred. This is where my stories come from and where they belong. I won't have to explain what an ice auger is or an arctic blast or why you should always keep a candle in your trunk." Kevin Kling
