Both Little Theatre of the Rockies and the University of Northern Colorado are glad to welcome back Keir Kirkegaard to the Langworthy Stage. Keir is playing Frank Abagnale Jr. in Little Theatre of the Rockies' production of Catch Me If You Can, and this is the first time the UNC alumni has been back to campus since his graduation in 2010. Keir has made a big hit in the professional show world with appearances in the world premiere of Scary Musical and the Hollywood Bowl production of Mamma Mia. He has also been seen in TV credits like TOSH.O and Glee. His favorite credits, however, are two that gave him the largest leap into the business. "It's a tie for my favorite. [First] I did an international tour of Barbie LIVE the musical which was an amazing experience because I traveled all over Asia and Australia for a year. I was able to visit places and do things I never thought I would be able to do." Keir said that his other favorite project was playing Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages in both Las Vegas and on board Norwegian Cruise Lines. "Ever since I saw the show on Broadway during my senior showcase in college I wanted to be in that show. To finally have the opportunity was amazing and something I will never forget." Now ready to take on another dream role of his, Keir can't wait for our Northern Colorado audiences to see Catch Me If You Can. This show is based off the real-life adventures of Frank Abagnale Jr. and includes some amazing song and dance. "It is a very fun story but has some real moments of heart as well. It is certainly a show that will leave the audience smiling and wanting more."
