A Winter's Gift

By Michelle R. Davis and David Ward 
directed by Timothy D. Turner

December 10-12, 2015

Troubled times have befallen Canterbury — the king is absent, the queen is greedy and the people are hungry.  To make matters worse, Vikings have been spotted.  As Abbot Gregory ponders a potentially calamitous Christmas, news of a winter’s gift arrives — monks have found a chest of gold, soon to be delivered to their abbey.   In a convergence of playful, convoluted paths, disguises fall, truths are revealed and a winter’s gift is given just in time for the most celebrated night of all!

Art in Odd Places Orlando
Public Visual and Performance Art Festival
September 17-20, 2015    FREE
Magnolia Avenue between Anderson and Washington Streets

Art in Odd Places aims to stretch the boundaries of communication in the public realm by presenting artworks in all disciplines outside the confines of traditional public space regulations. AiOP reminds us that public spaces function as the epicenter for diverse social interactions and the unfettered exchange of ideas.  Led by Ed Woodham, AiOP has always been a grassroots project fueled by the goodwill and inventiveness of its participants.  Don't miss this very unique festival in September.

Ghostlight Theatre Ensemble names Timothy, Music Director. "...our personal Superman.  He stepped in a day before we opened & knocked the show out without missing 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", says Brandon Roberts, GTE Managing Director. Ghostlight Theatre was formed in November of 2004 by Orlando actors Karla Sue Schultz, Meggin Weaver, and Brandon Roberts.  Perhaps by happenstance, the three of us found ourselves in the right place, at the right time, with the right people.  So, then we needed a name...  A ghostlight is a standing lamp, typically left in the center of the stage once a theatre has closed at the end of the day.  It provides the next person in the theatre a means of seeing their way in the darkness.  This symbol of optimism and encouragement was one that we all feel represents what theatre is to us, and what we hope to bring to everyone with whom we cross paths, onstage and off.

With colleague and friend Kylie Koscoe, Timothy has been commissioned to write a play based on the stories of Edgar Allen Poe. "The realities of Poe himself are as mysterious as the stories he wrote for his readers. I have long been intrigued by this great American writer and look forward to creating a educational and entertaining portrayal of Edgar Allen Poe", says Timothy D. Turner, playwright. The play will blur the lines between Poe's reality and the stories he related. The characters of the stories will reveal themselves one by one as actually people in Poe's life. The play will be one of three presented on tour for students for the 2005-2006 Storybook Repertoire Theatre Season. The Storybook Theatre Company has a proven reputation of fine theatrical and educational presentations for schools throughout Volusia, Lake & Seminole counties. This upcoming season marks the first year of a repertoire structure. Schools will have the opportunity to book any of the three productions throughout the entire school year. The three tour productions include, Edgar Allen Poe, The Magical Pinata, a bi-lingual musical and Storywagon: African Tales.
