Over the last few years he has worked extensively on some acclaimed local productions.

Most recently, Kevin Williamson has performed in Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" staged by Blackbird Theatre at Vancouver East Cultural Centre, in Shakespeare’s "Julius Caesar", in "Blue/Orange", about the mentally ill, and Noel Coward's comedy, "Private Lives" at the Stanley Theatre. According to a local critic's review of "Julius Caesar", "...Cassius, stands at the centre of this production, largely due to the sterling performance of Kevin Williamson who shows us a character seemingly both politically manipulative and utterly sincere. Williamson is also most at home with Shakespeare’s language and verse rhythms."Who|date=December 2007
