Meet the Gang

Keith Elkins
Actor/Honorary Board Member


     After many years performing with Subversive Theatre, Keith joined our troupe's Board of Trustees and served as Board Chairman from August of 2007 - January of 2009.  After doing much more than his fair share, Keith is now happy to serve the group in the less onerous capacity of "Honorary Board Member."
    As an actor, Keith has appeared in over fifty productions since 1979 on just about every stage in Buffalo including the Kavinoky, Shakespeare in Delaware Park, Theater of Youth, Alleyway, the Pfeiffer, the Playhouse, Buffalo Ensemble Theatre, and the New Phoenix Theatre.
    On the administrative side, Keith has served on the Board of Directors of both the Buffalo Ensemble Theatre and Shakespeare in Delaware Park as well as serving in an administrative and/or advisory role for a long list of non-theatrically-oriented community service organizations in the Buffalo area.
    As an educator, Keith holds a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Chicago as well as an MEd in Guidance and Counseling from the University of Illinois, Urbana.  He is a Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York and only recently retired from his long-standing position with SUNY Empire State College.
    Since 2002, the vast majority of Keith's stage appearances have been with Subversive Theatre.  With us from our first-ever production, his subversive credits include: A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO SHOOT THE CZAR (2002), KARL MARX IN ALLENTOWN (2002) as the Father of Communism himself, BURY THE DEAD (2003), ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN... (2004), MOTHER DIS-COURAGE (2004 & 2005) as the ghost of Bertolt Brecht, THE MOTHER (2005), WHAT I HEARD ABOUT IRAQ (2006), FOUNDATIONS (2007), SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER (2007), SUBVERSIVE SHORTS 2007, WAITING FOR LEFTY (2008) as the jaded, alcohol-infatuated Dr. Barnes (pictured above), and -- most recently -- THE MAN WHO NEVER DIED (2008).
    An ever-reliable man of many talents, we are honored to count him among our ranks.  Subversive Theatre would not be where it is today without Keith sagacious guidance through the wilderness of our early years.
