ACTING
Storytelling at full scale — from classical roles to contemporary work.
I approach performance as collaboration and authorship. An actor does more than interpret text — they activate it. My work spans classical theatre, new plays, musical theatre, touring productions, and commercial work.
Whether inhabiting established roles or originating new ones, I bring a director’s understanding of structure and a producer’s sense of pace to every performance. That perspective allows me to serve both the text and the production’s larger storytelling engine.
Lend Me a Tenor — Bellhop
Critic’s Corner; Indianapolis, IN February 20, 1997
“Bart Lovins plays the part of the obnoxious bellhop complete in red uniform. Lovins adds a great deal to the show as he cavorts in and out, interrupting the proceedings. By the way, his before-the-curtain speech was especially different and extremely entertaining. It was well written and expertly presented by the funny Mr. Lovins.”

The Emperor’s New Clothes — Mr. Sew
Detroit Free Press December 21, 1990
“Enter a couple of swindlers who call themselves Mr. Stitch and Mr. Sew; they make clothes that look invisible to dimwits and people unfit for their positions. Mr. Stitch is the brains of the operation; Mr. Sew doesn’t quite get the concept. “If this wool is invisible,” he asks, “was the lamb invisible, too, boss?” All the performers are good, with standouts being… Bart Lovins as the lithe and lively Mr. Sew.”

Father of the Bride — Tommy
The Herald Bulletin; Anderson, IN February 15, 1996
“The funny part of the show is watching everyone in the family, including the bride’s brother, Tommy, (Bart Lovins) quietly sneak the ‘church-only’ invitations into the ‘church and reception’ card file.”
