Hello! My name is Joshua Keen, and I’m a NYC–based creative with roots in small-town North Carolina, where I first fell in love with theatre. I began training and performing professionally at a young age, which eventually led me to Syracuse University, where I graduated in just three years with my B.F.A. in Musical Theatre - right into the heart of the pandemic.

When the industry came to a sudden halt, I turned inward and started creating my own work. Alongside five of my closest collaborators, I co-founded Next Stop Creatives, a multi-hyphenate production company dedicated to supporting artists at any stage of their creative process. Through this company, I’ve had the joy of collaborating with an incredible range of artists on conceptual dance films, short films, music videos, self-tapes, reels, brand partnerships, live theatre, and countless other creative ventures.

As the entertainment world reopened, I returned to performing - most notably as the Dance Captain/Swing for The Book of Mormon on Broadway and the national tour. I proudly embrace the title Multi-Hyphenate, because my creativity truly lives across many forms: theatre, dance, film/TV, music, direction and choreography, producing, videography, photography, fashion, podcasting… and whatever I start learning tomorrow.

If you’re interested in working together in any of these worlds, I’d love to connect.
