Summary: Kevin Kling is a storyteller, playwright, and regular contributor to NPR’s All Things Considered. His plays have been seen at the Guthrie Theater, Second Stage, Seattle Rep, the Goodman Theater, the Spoleto Festival, and the HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado. For the 2007 Friends Holiday Toast, Kling performed stories from his new debut book, The Dog Says How, a collection of classic and never-before-told stories about his eclectic life - from hopping freight trains, getting hit by lightning, performing his banned play in Czechoslovakia, to growing up in Minnesota. In Kling's world, "the mundane becomes magical, the fantastic becomes accessible and through it all his profound sense of curiosity about the world transforms the everyday to the timeless" (Queen Anne News).
