In April 2020\, after the 7pm tribute to the health care workers in Manhattan\, Stokes would lean out his apartment window and sing with his legendary booming voice to give thanks. Since then\, he has dedicated numerous performances to frontline workers and has advocated tirelessly for the arts industry\, which has been devastated by shuttered venues and restrictions on large gatherings. \nDubbed “the last leading man” by The New York Times\, Tony Award-winner Brian Stokes Mitchell has enjoyed a career that spans Broadway\, television\, film\, and concert appearances with the country’s finest conductors and orchestras. \nHe received Tony\, Drama Desk\, and Outer Critics Circle awards for his star turn in Kiss Me\, Kate.

Other notable Broadway shows include Kiss of the Spider Woman\, Jelly’s Last Jam\, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and Shuffle Along.

He has worked with John Williams\, Marvin Hamlisch\, Gustavo Dudamel\, Keith Lockhart\, Michael Tilson Thomas\, The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Big Band\, The Mormon Tabernacle choir and the Muppets. He has been invited twice to perform at the White House (both times aired on PBS’s Great Performances) and has performed multiple times for Presidents Clinton and Obama. \nHis extensive screen credits began with a guest starring role on “Roots: The next Generations”\, followed by a 7-year stint on Trapper John\, MD and have continued with memorable appearances on everything from PBS’ Great Performances to The Fresh Prince\, Frasier\, Glee\, Jumping the Broom and his most recent recurring roles on Madam Secretary\, Mr. Robot\, The Path\, Billions and The Good Fight.
