Below are publicity or production shots of Robert Locke in various favorite roles.
Robert Locke as Sweeny Todd

Title role in Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street



as The Pirate King

The Pirate King from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance



nobody here but us chickens as Zeke in Premiere as Zeke in Premiere (with Sandy Hillard)

Zeke in my own play Premiere. He can be brutal, and he can be tender: he’s a director and playwright.



as Dennis in Murder and Edna Redrum

The mirror was featured prominently in both productions of Murder and Edna Redrum since the center of a palindrome is in fact a mirror image. Here I am as Dennis (Dennis and Edna sinned) trying to find my way out of my maze of murder and mayhem, my weapon at the ready.



nobody here but us chickens as El Gallo from The Fantastics singing the duet 'I Can See It'

At right, camping it up as El Gallo from The Fantasticks laying out the kidnap/elopement possibilities in “Rape!” At left singing the duet with Matt, “I Can See It!”.



Harold from Kurt Vonnegut’s only play Happy Birthday, Wanda June!. The long-lost Odysseus character back home and seeking sexual solace from his Penelope.

as Harold from 'Happy Birthday Wanda June!'


nobody here but us chickens as Sky Masterson from 'Guys and Dolls' Sky and Sarah

Sky Masterson gambling for his happiness with “Luck Be a Lady!” from Guys and Dolls. And look, he wins.



Thomas Diafoirus from Moliere’s The Imaginary Invalid. How liberating it was to play an idiot. And with a French accent. Here I sit on the lap of my doting father as he vainly waits for me to pledge my troth to the ingenue.

as Thomas Diafoirus from The Imaginary Invalid


as Vasek from 'The Bartered Bride'

Another comic character, the heartbreakingly funny stuttering suitor Vasek from The Bartered Bride.



as Judge Gaunt from 'Winterset'

Tortured Judge Gaunt (center) from Maxwell Anderson’s Winterset. I was a college student, but I believe I pulled off the old age rather well. This was a photo in the Sacramento Bee
