SPECIAL EVENTS
We are thrilled to announce that Kevin Bice will be the next recipient of MTP’s annual Lifetime Membership honour. Each year, the MTP board selects one individual whose support of MTP and contributions to the London community at large deserve recognition.
Kevin Bice is is a multi-talent theatre and visual artist, and a long-time member of the Musical Theatre Productions family. Kevin was one of the founding board members of London Musical Theatre (now Musical Theatre Productions) along with John Gerry, Art Fidler, Stephen and Deborah Mitchell, Art Ender, Don Fleckser and several other visionary members of the community. Over the years, Kevin fulfilled many production roles with MTP in addition to his years of service to the board, including set designer for numerous shows including our inaugural production Evita (1988), director of The Music Man (1990) and The Yeoman of the Guard (1993), graphic designer including the poster design for the original 1992 production of Broadway to the Max and even performer appearing as Sid Sirokin in The Pajama Game (1994). Kevin’s impact on the community is far more wide-spreading than just MTP, having worked with many other theatre companies including Arbitrary Angle, Fountainhead Theatre, London Community Players, the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, and the Grand Theatre High School Project. Kevin also was a secondary school teacher at Montcalm, inspiring and guiding many students and working on several school productions. Outside of theatre, Kevin was involved with the Karen Schuessler Singers for 9 years, the St. John the Evangelist church choir for over 40 years, founded the London Artists’ Studio Tour in 1992, and continues to work in his studio, exhibiting his artwork regularly.
