On Stage
A BODY OF WATER featuring Ken Clement, Beth Dimon & Kim Morgan Dean
“the mysteries engage and fascinate…”-- TalkinBroadway.com “Playwright Lee Blessing is a craftsman of the first rank.” -- The Washington Post WHO'S WHO: Ken Clement (Moss) is happy about returning to Mosaic to work with Richard and friends. Mosaic audiences may remember Ken from such past Mosaic shows as Glengarry Glen Ross, Dealer’s Choice, Rabbit Hole, The Memory of Water and Because He Can. Ken, a South-Florida Native, studied theater with Barbara Lowery at MDC-North (Over a hundred years ago!) before receiving his BFA from California Institute of the Arts. Ken got his first professional break at the Ruth Foreman Theater, working with the late director Bob Bogdanov in the musical Baby and Tennessee William's Sweet Bird of Youth with local legends Jan McCart and Ken Kay. Favorite Miami credits include The Lt. of Inishmore, Address Unknown (Carbonell nom.), Popcorn, and Killer Joe (Carbonell nom.) at GableStage; Faith Healer (Carbonell nom.) at Inside Out ; Cyrano at Deborah Sherman’s Promethean Theatre; Urinetown, Johnny Guitar, Big Bang (Carbonell and Curtain-Up nom.), Sherlock's Last Case, and Floyd Collins at Actors' Playhouse; Tom Walker (Carbonell winner), and the World Premiere of Anna in the Tropics at Raphael de Acha’s New Theatre; and Helluva Halloween, Here in My Car, Shepherd's Pie, Shoot, and Portrait at Paul Tei's MadCat Theatre Company. Ken also appeared (along with WAY too many kids) as Mr. Bumble in Cameron Mackintosh's National Tour of Oliver! Last year Ken had the dubious honor of receiving two Carbonell nominations for Best Actor. He lost, but thinks it may have been a very clever ‘fat joke’. As always, Ken considers himself the luckiest son-of-a-bitch he knows."
