OPEN EYE MAINSTAGE: Theatre / Storytelling

Open Eye Theatre and Kling & Co presents

KEVIN KLING: UNRAVELED

Sept. 10 – 20, 2026

Directed by Steven Dietz 
Accompanied by musician Rob Witmer

A regional premiere  - two weeks only!

In his newest solo work, Kevin Kling invites audiences into a journey through his own life: from childhood adventures and family experiences to navigating life with a congenital disability and recovering from a motorcycle accident.

Minnesota’s master storyteller explores memory, loss, and connection

Accompanied onstage by Rob Witmer, the performance weaves humor, heartbreak, and hope, reflecting on how connections shape our lives. Directed by Steven Dietz, UNRAVELED shows how Kling is constantly looking for the patterns, connections and the surprising intersections that connect us to each other and to the world. With a heartfelt ode to love and apologies to the gods, Kling unravels the tangled threads that have guided him to an unexpected destination.
