Mitch Krohn

Mitch Krohn has made four prior appearances with Merlyn Productions – three in the Master Playwright Festival! He was excited to play the more serious Christian Faber in “The Astonished Heart”, after the comical Lomov in “A Marriage Proposal” and the bumbling Lord Augustus in “Augustus Does His Bit”.

Mitch, who works at Canadian Mennonite University (CMU), is a member of the Crosseyed Rascals Improv Troupe, the Artistic Director of the BS Comedy Players (Musical Political Satire), and one of the Artistic Directors of Crosswalk Productions.

He has been performing since the ripe age of 9, entertaining relatives at family gatherings year after year. He proceeded to get his dramatic training through the University of Winnipeg's theatre program, and has more recently taught his own Theatre Ensemble class at CMU.

Mitch has worked with many local theatre companies, including North Kildonan Community Players, Phoenix Productions, Theatre & Play, and White Rabbit Productions. Since 2002, he has been performing in the Winnipeg Fringe Festival, where he has several times donned the director's hat to such hits as “Cabaret” and “This is a Play”. He also spent a few years travelling with performance troupes.

Mitch believes strongly in local community theatre, and is happy and thankful for the opportunity to be performing as a returning member of Merlyn Productions.
