“Beautifully produced… A breath of fresh, pastural air”
“I loved this Kenny. Brought back such memories of my grandmother. It was so creative and from the heart. The scenery was magnificent and you are a wonderful story teller. I hope there will be more. I will be watching this one again. Well done!!”
“I watched this twice. I hope it will be available to show others who haven’t seen it. Very good and surprisingly touching in the end. Can’t wait to see more like this. 👍”

Kenny Streule is a Montreal based actor, performer and playwright. From humble beginnings growing up on a Brome Lake dairy farm southeast of Montreal, Kenny always aspired to be an actor. His passion for creating has led him to found his theatre company KS Presents. Based on the life of his cousin living in the country, City Boy was the first play he wrote and produced. His first solo show, Malunderstood, was presented at MainLine Theatre in February 2020. Recognized for his role as the Narrator in Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show (MainLine Theatre), Kenny used comedy to explore themes of family dynamics and acceptance in his work. An active arts advocate, Kenny is the Artistic Producer of MainLine Theatre and the St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival and he is the secretary of the Quebec Drama Federation Board of directors.
