In his very next campus production he landed the lead in “River Niger,” a part created by his theatrical idol James Earl Jones. After graduation he was fortunate to gain work as a member of the Freedom Theatre Rep, where he was directed by mentor Walter Dallas in “Sparkle,” The Musical,” “Lazarus,” “Unstoned,” and “The Bluest Eye.”

In 2008 Kash founded GoKash Productions and has mounted two original self-written plays, the 2009 NYC Downtown Urban Theatre Festival Best Play winner “VI Degrees” and the hilarious comedy “Man, I Shoulda Put A Ring On It!”. Goins has just completed his adaptation of "VI Degrees" to a short film and the product is sure to gain national exposure for the GoKash Productions movement.

Fresh off of the physically and mentally challenging creation of the title character in Chris Braak's world premiere of “The Life of John Henry”, Goins is poised for a whirlwind of creativity and activity in 2010. First up is the coveted Director / Actor / Co-Producer role in Aliya Tene's hilarious "Tryna Get to Heaven on 15 Cents". While driving the VI Degrees Movie through the National Film Festival circuit, Goins will be concurrently preparing for his debut in March at Wilmington Drama League in the role of Gabriel in August Wilson's "Fences", and completing preparations for the debut Easter theatrical extravaganza for his church Enon Tabernacle. The remainder of the Spring will include a re-visit to the Downtown Urban Theatre Festival with his just completed sequel to VI Degrees titled "VII Deadly Sins", followed by another honored directorial endeavor with Cheril Clarke and her critically acclaimed stage play "Intimate Chaos". In the early summer, Kash will mount a stage adaptation of Author April Walker's newly released novel "More than one Way to Skin a Dog". The stage play will be titled "Catch a Dog, Skin a dog... How Men Cheat!"

Kash thanks GOD for continued opportunities for creative expression and the energy to KEEP GOING!!! His battle cry - Let's Get It!!! Getting "it" is exactly what Goins appears determined to do!
