Kevin McLachlan was born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon and began performing at a very young age.
After perfecting the fake cry to get his older brother in trouble, and practicing his fight moves against imaginary armies, he soon started pursuing it in a more formal setting and began getting involved in high school musicals.
A proud graduate of Whitehorse's MAD (Music, Art, and Drama) program and a former member of the Yukon's longest running Vaudeville Show "Frantic Follies", he left Whitehorse and studied Music Theatre Performance at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario where he received his degree with honours.
Since then Kevin has been performing across Canada in various musicals, plays, and touring shows.
Kevin spent three seasons at the Charlottetown Festival as part of the Confederation Centre of the Arts Young Company, and two seasons on Vancouver Island performing at the Chemainus Theatre Festival. Currently Kevin is in his 5th season at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-lake Ontario.
Maybe one day he'll even have a permanent address.
