Kash Goins Director
Kash Goins is a Delaware resident who was born and raised in South Philly as the youngest of five boys. He has always had a penchant for acting and producing plays, evident by the improv skits and impromptu plays he would "produce" on the streets of Point Breeze and Moore with family and friends as a grade school attendant. He didn't pursue his first formal acting experience until he was a sophomore at Lincoln University landing a role as George Murchinson in "Raisin in the Sun." In his very next campus production he landed the lead in “River Niger,” a part created by his theatrical idol James Earl Jones. After graduation he was fortunate to gain work as a
member of the Freedom Theatre Rep, where he was directed by mentor Walter Dallas in
“Sparkle,” The Musical,” “Lazarus,” “Unstoned,” and “The Bluest Eye.” In 2008, Kash founded GoKash Productions and has mounted two plays, the 2009 NYC Downtown Urban Theatre Festival Best Play winner “VI Degrees” and the hilarious comedy “Man, I Shoulda Put A Ring On It!” He has also been seen as Walter Lee in Stagecrafter’s “Raisin in the Sun” and Reuben Tate in Allens Lane’s “Zooman And The Sign.” Kash thanks GOD for continued opportunities for creative expression and is ever so thankful for this magnificent journey with Iron Age!
Most recently, Kash has starred in “The Life of John Henry” by Chris Braak. He is looking forward to bringing his artistic vision to Clarke's, "Intimate Chaos." |
