A Couple of Professional
Recommendations
|
Sands Theatre
Center, Chairman, Board of Directors, Rene Sands It has been my
privilege to work with Timothy Turner at The Sands Theater Center during the
past five years, particularly during the last three seasons. Although my work
with the Theater is primarily administrative, I have also had the opportunity
to work closely with Timothy on productions and to observe and appreciate his
talent and dedication. Most recently, I directed him in a production of The Frog Prince, which toured area
schools both in the fall and in the spring. I was particularly impressed with
his work with the children during performances of this interactive play, as
well as with the quality of the music he composed to use throughout the show.
Timothy is also a skilled music director, director and actor (in both
musicals and non-musicals). Our theater produces community theater,
second-stage classics and new works, and theater for young people. Timothy
has worked well with us in each of these areas. He has been of great value to
us, and I recommend him highly.
The Sands Theater Center Box Office: (386) 736-7456 |
Ghostlight Theatre Ensemble, Managing Dir., Brandon Roberts I am writing on behalf of Timothy
Turner, a man that has come to be known in my book as “master of the keys”. I
am a founding member of Ghostlight Theatre
Ensemble, and we had our inaugural production over Valentine’s weekend of
this year. The show was a cabaret of love songs called Love
Crossing. After
losing three piano players, Timothy stepped in the night before we were to
open and blew us all away. Timothy has amazing sight reading abilities; with
even the most challenging sheet music, he never missed a beat. And as if
coming in at the last minute and playing every note flawlessly were not
enough, Timothy possesses the uncanny ability to feel the actor’s style of
singing and marry his playing to the actor to enhance the song as a whole. In
a nutshell, Timothy is incredibly talented, great fun to work with, and tops
it all off with a respectable professionalism. Tim has become our go to man,
and I strongly recommend his services.
