Kenneth Tigar

Professor Josef Mashkan

Kenneth Tigar returns after an absence of over 35 years to the Vienna stage where he acted as a member of Conny Hannes Meyer’s Komödianten at the Theater am Börseplatz. During the intervening years he has become a familiar face from film and television, having appeared in hundreds of TV shows and movies.

Mr. Tigar’s recent stage work includes Amadeus (Salieri), Death of a Salesman (Willy Loman), a world premiere at the Cleveland Play House, and most recently, the off-Broadway production of Robert Clyman’s Secret Order. He has won a Los Angeles Drama Critics’ Circle Award and has appeared across the United States in his one-man show I Must Be Mr. Boswell about the biographer of Dr. Johnson.

He directed the national tour of The Gin Game with Academy Award winner Kim Hunter and is also an accomplished opera director.

His translations of Brecht and Wedekind have been performed from Boston to Los Angeles.
