Kevin Hoffman, pictured to the right with Erin Thomas, Susan Sanford and Matthew Costello in Barksdale's 2003 production of Proof, just won a significant shot at the big time. We couldn't be happier for him.After earning his BFA in Acting from Elon University, NC, Kevin came to Richmond to appear in Proof. He did a terrific job. Since then he's been pursuing his career out of NYC. After two soap opera gigs on All My Children and As the World Turns, lead roles in four independent films, four NYC stage acting credits, ten regional theatre gigs, and one theme park stint with Universal Studios in Orlando, Kevin is about to take a big step forward.
He has just been accepted into the prestitious Old Globe/USD MFA Acting program starting in the fall. This nationally recognized actor training program only accepts seven students each year to participate in a two and a half year training period focusing on classical theatre while performing at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. It includes a full tuition scholarship, living stipend, as well as an expenses paid trip to London to study in the second year.Needless to say, Kevin is ecstatic. We wish him all the best.

It was great for Richmond when you brought Susan Sanford (also in the Proof picture) back to Richmond from California to star in the Little Dog Laughed. She was SOOOO good. Maybe sometime after his San Diego experience you can bring Kevin back as well. I thought Proof was a wonderful production and it's never too soon to see any of those four talented actors back on the boards in Richmond.
