Kevin Tengesdal

Forty years ago, in his high school play “The Egg & I,” Kevin R. Tengesdal discovered his enthusiasm for acting, and then honed his skills with Campus Players at Minot State. Fifteen years later, he was a member of Mouse River Players of Minot for three years, starting with “The Hobbit” as Gandalf. In 2004, Kevin entered Dakota Stage, performing in numerous productions for Mainstage, Late Night Alternative, and Living Masterpieces. His DSL Brady Awards include Best Supporting Actor in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” Outstanding Ensemble Role for “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” and nominations for “A Christmas Carol” and “I Hate Hamlet.” Kevin has acted with Ft. Lincoln Haunted Fort, Bismarck State College, Fort Abraham Lincoln Dramatic Association, Northern Plains Dance, and Capital Shakespeare. His screen-time includes commercials, video projects, and the movie “Dust of War.” Kevin returns to the stage after a five-year intermission in which he achieved a UND MSW degree. He continues his 25-year graphic design discipline, now as the Public Information Specialist promoting the Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library and its programs. Thank you Julius the Grey for your patience and much emotional support! Thanks Tom, cast and crew! “A merry Christmas to us all, my dears. God bless us.”
