Traveling in utero from the tumble weed plains of Oklahoma to Baltimore just as the Orioles came to town, he arrived at Baltimore City Hospital as Hurricane Agnes blew out the waiting room windows. Oh, sorry, not that in depth of a Bio. Jim has managed to be involved in local community theater for over 30 years in some capacity as either actor, director, or stage crew without losing all his hair (pay no attention to the fading forehead. It’s a character choice.) He would like to thank ASOB for giving him the opportunity to stretch as a director. He previously directed Steel Magnolias (Bucket List show) and In the Nick of Time (a somewhat musical). Last seen on stage the Blind Hermit in Third Wall Productions, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, his favorite roles include Jacob in JOSEPH...DREAMCOAT, Wilson in WHOSE WIVES ARE THEY ANYWAY?, and Nathan Detroit in GUYS AND DOLLS. As always, he thanks Chris for all her support and blames Emily for all this theater nonsense.

Ted has been involved in pretty much every aspect of theatre both on the stage, and behind the scenes. He was recently voted-in as a member of the Board of Directors for Cockpit in Court, and has been running his own theatre company, Infinity Theatrical Productions, since 1999. While it takes amazing people to get out under the lights, and a village backstage to keep the production from falling apart, it is YOU, the audience, who are the most important of all. While we do this for the love of performing, there would be no point if we didn't do our part to help take you away from the real world for the couple of hours you are with us. We all appreciate you being here, and for doing your part to keep the arts alive. Local audiences may remember him in some of his favorite roles: SOUND OF MUSIC (Captain von Trapp), JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT (Simeon), DEATHTRAP (Clifford), & AN INSPECTOR CALLS (Inspector Goole).
