Kevin Cronin is an actor and writer, as well as an attorney. He performs locally with Bodwin Theatre Company and is a Resident Artist at Cleveland Public Theatre. His most recent activity involves linking theater, education and history to tell abolition stories of the underground railroad operating in 19th century Northeast Ohio. These stories have been incorporated into Cleveland Public Theatre’s Station Hope Project, the Cozad Bates House celebration series, the FRONT art series and the development of University Circle’s newest museum, the Cozad Bates House, dedicated to presenting abolition activities in Northeast Ohio (opening to the public in the spring of 2020). The Cozad Bates House is the oldest, pre-civil war building remaining in University Circle. As an attorney and cyclist, Cronin helped create nonprofit Bike Cleveland and filed the first lawsuit against the Ohio Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration on behalf of cyclists in NE Ohio, which contributed to the construction of millions of dollars in cycling infrastructure. Born and raised in Cleveland (other than college and law school and a ten-year stint working for US Congress), Cronin resides in Cleveland’s eastside St. Clair/Superior neighborhood in a hundred-year-old home that alternatingly thrills and terrifies him.
