About Me
Blake Levinson, a native of Lafayette, CA, began his love for performance with Barrett Lindsay-Steiner’s Standing Ovations in the fourth grade in an eccentric retelling of Alice in Wonderland mashed up with The Beatles, entitled Alice in Beatlesland. A young Levinson then took to the American Conservatory Theatre’s Geary Stage in sixth and eighth grade to perform in their youth cast of A Christmas Carol, even playing the coveted role of Peter Cratchit in his eighth-grade year. During this time, Levinson was also featured as Linus in the San Francisco Symphony’s A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Through his high school years, Levinson began his adoration for the art of Musical Theatre. Studying under the choral and drama departments of Bruce Lengacher & Edward Meehan, respectively, at Acalanes High School, Levinson played his first-ever leading role as John Jasper in The Mystery of Edwin Drood in his sophomore year.
This blossoming love led Levinson to pursue a BFA in Musical Theatre at Temple University as a 2025 graduation candidate. During his time at school, Levinson has been able to play such roles as Ernst Robel in Spring Awakening, Will Bloom in Big Fish, Pippin in Pippin, Stephano in The Tempest, & Valere in Tartuffe.
In his college years, Levinson has also had the phenomenal opportunity to perform with the College Light Opera Company in their 2023 season, performing in such shows as Hello, Dolly!, H.M.S. Pinafore, The Merry Widow, 9 to 5, The Little Mermaid, & others.
Levinson has also had the high privilege of performing in the 2024 festival season of the Ohio Light Opera, in what he deems to be the most influential professional job of his young career thus far. Under the proverbial (yet sometimes literal) baton of Steven Daigle, Jacob George Allen, Wilson Southerland, Spencer Reese, & Michael Borowitz, Levinson continued to nurture a love for classical operetta and golden age material that had begun his prior summer at the College Light Opera.
Outside of work, Levinson is an avid swimmer, & can be found swimming laps at the closest lap pool. Growing up on youth swim teams, Levinson has always been partial to the water, and he hopes that his future employment can find him as close to the water as he can get.
Levinson also prides himself on the writing of his entirely original Musical composition entitled Logos Divine: A Musical Opera. Growing discontented with the decline of original work & compositions on the Broadway stage, Logos Divine was born as a brain child aimed towards the revival of originality on the stage.
