Ted is a passionate-to-the-point-of-obsessed artist with a love for all reaches of theatre. Given any opportunity to create, he will, be it as an actor, director, writer, dramaturg, producer, music director, lighting designer, stage manager, advisor, and whatever else you can think of that’s relevant. The thing that drives him to produce consistently high-quality work is his obsession with the art itself. Ted can’t explain his passion for theatre or where it came from, but he has always been fascinated with the concept of storytelling, way before he ever acted in his first play.
He has an innate ability to see the bigger picture which allows him to very easily conceptualize and understand the flow, arc, and spine of a play while reading the text. Combined with his natural leadership abilities, as a dramaturg, Ted is able to explore text with a writer and guide the writer to discovering the strongest way forward on their own. This method applies to his directing as well.
