Born of Irish thoroughbred stock, Kevin Mooney has been cavorting in the entertainment and writing world since he was a wee lad. As a youngster in the South Bronx, Kevin was attracted to the theater when he played an old man in a Christmas play at the age of six. He began writing in his early teens, worked his way through Marquette University and received a degree in Theatre and History before the age of 25. Then he went on to earn his master’s degree in Character Analysis working as a bartender at Wolski’s Tavern in Milwaukee. Continuing on this course, Kevin became the Company Manager for the first national touring company of Angels in America, as well as the long-running hits in Chicago of Forever Plaid and I Hate Hamlet.
Kevin's personal writing has been a lifelong pursuit that he has finally given up trying to shake off and manifests itself in the highly acclaimed two-part poetry series The Wandering Crane and the business book Turning Up the Light: Four Steps to Brighter Management. Additionally he has exhibited his art installations: A Field of Poetry, Secret Language of Intimacy, and Poetry: To Get Lost In throughout the U.S. Especially exciting is his upcoming exhibition in Dundalk, Ireland June & July, 2024.
His current plans are to bring his unique and exciting blend of art and poetry to schools, museums, and churches all over the country, while continuing to work on his other, soon to be published, books www.LeprechaunInc.com
