Bevan T. Keating

• Date and place of birth: Nov. 10, 1968, London, Ontario, Canada

• A movie I recently saw and enjoyed: I took my kids to see “Back to the Future” in a big theater with social distancing. It was so fun to see one of my favorite movies through my kids’ eyes. Once Blythe found out that Marty McFly was Canadian, she dressed as him for Halloween!

• If I had to eat the same thing every day it would be: Meat and potatoes.

• My most precious childhood memory: Sunday dinners with my family.

• To relax: I guess if you can call being chased around the ice by goons with graphite sticks and metal blades on their feet “relaxing,” then hockey is how I go about it.

• Someday I want to: Take all my friends from Arkansas to Canada with me for Boxing Day and have a huge party.

• My pet peeve is: Cell phones in rehearsals! You can ask some of the actors and singers I work with how intense I can be about being present and engaged while we work.

• Something few people know about me: I once nearly got myself and a fairly large portion of a choir kicked out of the Hotel Frontenac in Quebec because we were having a spirited disagreement about who would win in a fight: Captain Kirk or Yoda. (Of course, Kirk would win, but you just can’t reason with some people.)

• The most fun I’ve ever had: Truly, the most fun I’ve ever had happens every time we mount a new production or event. There’s no joy quite like bringing together the incredibly diverse array of people that put their talent and expertise into a stage production, festival or concert.

• I wish I could: Do more for the people around me. I find myself always wanting to be the person with all the solutions or plans, even though that’s not generally how life works out.

• One word to sum me up: Passionate.
