New beginnings…

March 28, 2011

If there’s one thing that’s been constant for the last several years, it’s change. Isn’t that what they always say? [I have no idea who “they” are, but I’m pretty sure they do say it.] Well, if you’ve been paying attention, you know that Ted & Company is always in some form of metamorphosis. And ultimately, change can be a very good thing. That’s why we’re so excited to bring you a NEW website that is pretty to look at, easy to use, and easy to change [should the mood strike us].  And it most probably will. Poke around and tell us what you think. Another new beginning We are welcoming Tim Ruebke to the company. Tim will be taking over the role created by and with Trent Wagler in I’d Like to Buy an Enemy. Trent has been removed for various infractions too complicated to go into on the…

Workshop with Ted

March 1, 2011

Ted’s talented and thought-provoking monologues drove me back to the Word to research where all of his added character enlargements originated…he is truly a gifted man of God, and extremely familiar with both his material and his abilities. ~ Susan Street The drama group would tell others that it is money well-spent [to bring in Ted for a workshop]. It’s an incredible opportunity to learn and grow in the process of excellence in worship through drama. ~Kay Lanasa Many thanks to Ted for his fabulous work with the Mariner’s drama missions team.

What Would Lloyd Do?

March 1, 2011

A powerful show! Funny, moving, challenging, thought-provoking, and musically outstanding! This show combines the best of what church and theater ought to be about. It challenges the notion that the essence of church is captured in the weekly rituals of worship. Yet it holds out the hope that when we combine ritual and symbol with real human compassion and presence, new life is possible, even if all our doubts and questions aren’t easily resolved. ~Phil Kniss, Pastor, Park View Mennonite Church, Harrisonburg, VA We really appreciated the show that Ingrid, Ted, and Trent created and performed. We got feedback that was entirely positive from the folks who attended the shows. We are so thankful to have been a part of the premier. Someone said “Ted is back.” I heard folks comment about how much they were impressed by the “layers” embedded within the message of the show. Several said that they…
