David Kyhn Headshot 2018

Resident Scenic Designer

The 2022-2023 season marks David's twenty-third season as the Kalamazoo Civic's resident scenic designer. That means he has personally designed over one hundred sets since he first joined the Civic in the summer of 2000. In that time he has also had the pleasure of mentoring many young artists just starting their careers through the Civic's vibrant internship program. David lives with his family in downtown Kalamazoo; you may chance to meet them at a volunteer paint call as they frequently come down to lend a hand. Outside of the Civic, David enjoys oil painting, particularly portraits, and is currently exploring digital painting. Some of David's favorite designs include Hello, Dolly!, Much Ado about Nothing, 4000 Miles, The Women, The Baker s Wife, The Drowsy Chaperone, and Jekyll and Hyde, the Musical.
