KB was awarded Johnson City Community Theatre's Best Actor of 2007 for his roles in "The Mousetrap" and "Christmas Belles." 

KB will play the role of 'Froggy' in the play entitled, "The Foreigner." TF is a laugh-out-loud comedy about a painfully shy Englishman named Charlie, forced to spend a few days at a bed-and-breakfast in rural Georgia. The character of 'Froggy' is a no-nonsense RAF sergeant who sets the whole show in motion with his misguided attempt to help Charlie. The Springfield Theatre Centre's performances of "The Foreigner" will occur at The Hoogland Center for the Arts from March 12-21, 2010.

KB performed as "Doug Laws, Dr. Cantway, Conrad Miller, Rob Debree, and Newsperson #2" in the ensemble production of "The Laramie Project" with the Springfield Theatre Centre at the Hoogland Center for the Arts from November 6 - 15, 2009. "TLP" which focuses on the death of Matthew Shepard and its aftermath, is currently one of the most popular plays in the United States.

From December 5 - 20, 2008 at JCCT, KB portrayed "Bernard" in the side-splitting comedy with more twists than a corkscrew, "Don't Dress for Dinner." DDD was a smash hit in Paris, where it played for over two years, and in London, where critical acclaim greeted the Apollo Theatre production.

KB played "Thomas Putnam" in the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre version of "The Crucible" from October 30 through November 9, 2008. The Crucible, which won a 1953 Tony Award for 'Best Play,' is set in Salem, Massachusetts in the backdrop of the infamous Salem Witch Trials.

Dowd." Stewart also played Dowd on stage for six months in London.
