Dan Beckmann, a self-proclaimed “tall guy” out of Burnsville, Minnesota and is so excited to be back in Kearney for Crane River Theater’s production of Elf! Audiences may remember him as Shrek in Shrek the Musical, Harold Hill in The Music Man, and Snoopy in Snoopy. Dan has since toured the country and world in national tours and cruise ship entertainment lounges alike. He currently travels the country performing with USO-style tap-dancing Duo “Letters From Home” and is the Artistic Director of Spring Theatre in Winston-Salem North Carolina. When he’s not on stage, he can likely be found behind a camera causing all sorts of mischief, and today marks the fifteenth day in a row in which he successfully wore pants. In his off time, he can be found shooting photos, critiquing arthouse films, and making poop jokes. He owes everything he has to the support of his wonderful family and ADHD.
