About Lewis Smith:

Lewis was last seen on the Theatre West stage as Teddy in Arsenic & Old Lace. Previous Theatre West credits include the inebriated-adjacent priest in Harold & Maude, Benny in Epic Proportions, & Felix in The Odd Couple. Other local endeavors have included directing and performing in the live radio presentation of It’s a Wonderful Life at the Lincoln City Cultural Center and the Travel Oregon 2016 Hidden Gem Award-winning A Tour to Die For.  Other favorite credits include Petruccio in both Kiss Me, Kate & Taming of the Shrew, South Pacific (Billis) and Othello (Othello… yes, with lots of makeup!) His other performance experience includes ballets, music, & commercials, along with several 2-second stints as an extra in films such as What Dreams May Come, Rent, & XXX: State of the Union.  Lewis was a member of Batucaje, an Afro-Brazilian dance and music ensemble based in San Francisco, Motu’aina, a Tahitian drum & dance group, and a street performer with a Berkeley-based improv and mime troupe. When time allows, he teaches Improv, Tahitian Drumming, and self-defense at OCCC. Lewis is extremely pleased and honored to be working with such a talented and passionate cast and crew! “Scrooge McDuck, man!!!”
