"Dear Tim, I really want to formally thank you for a most wonderful theatrical experience.  I have never worked backstage, always prefering to take on a character/personality, that i'm not, out in the front of the stage. Opening night was just as exciting backstage as it has been out front.  The entire troupe was so helpful and cooperative all around, something that I attribute to their wonderful leader.  I would work with you anytime.

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.

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.
