Hello and Welcome to my website!
|
|
This serves as the home base for J.T. Turner,
actor, director, storyteller and stage combat choreographer. I really
appreciate your stopping by. The site contains information
on my current projects, my resume and the many odd things I do.
Please feel free to contact
me regarding any acting gigs,storytelling gigs, or combat choreography.
The quick overview goes like this. I am a professional actor, member
of Actors Equity, the Screen Actors Guild, and the
American Federation of TV and Radio Artists. That means I
act onstage, in film, and TV and radio. Much of my work is in the
area of voice-overs.
I also am the director of moonlight
productions, inc., a non-profit theater company I run with Sandi Nason. Check us out
by clicking here.
I have been a professional storyteller for years, and offer many
in-school programs. For the past 3 years, I have toured schools
as Temperence speaker John Gough. Check out my list of storytelling
characters.
And I have been swordfighting and choreographing stage combat for
many years, and am a proud member of the Society of American Fight
Directors.
Thanks for stopping by the site, I'd
love to hear from you!
J.T.

I am honored to be working as the Descriptive Narrator for the new PBS cartoon, MARTHA SPEAKS! Martha is a dog that gets the power of speech after eating alphabet soup. It is great fun, and does a wonderful job improving kids vocabulary. Watch for it on PBS in September!

I am so happy to find out that one of my recent musicals, Man of LaMancha at the Lyric Stage Company, has been nominated for several awards by the Indeopendent Reviewers of New England. Besides many individual nominations, (including Chris Chew as Best Actor in a Musical, Spiro Veludos as Best Director of a Musical, and Robert Saoud as Best Supporting Actor in a Musical), La Mancha also is nominated for Best Ensemble, and Best Musical! It was a great show, and an amazing cast. I am honored to be honored in such company.

I am leaving just after Christmas for a jaunt to Antigua Guatemala, for 2 weeks of intensive Spanish lessons. I hope to improve my Spanish to assist in my work at the tiny jungle village outside of San Antonio Suchatipequez, were Partners in Development gives medical aid, builds homes, helps in the school, and tries to improve life in the village.
This trip is a mix of Spanish study, (to help on my mission trip in April) as well as getting to know the country, and explore some of the Mayan ruins there. (I have an interest in all kinds of ruins, especially Mayan). Hope to return with many a tale to tell!

Well, Brotherhood has aired its final Season 2 episode, did you see me? I was quite visible in several scenes this season. Hopefully they will return to RI for another season. I can also be seen in the movie Dan in Real Life with Steve Carrel, look for the fisherman walking by him when he goes to a seaside bookstore, and in the film The Game Plan, with the Rock. Look for me at a hospital waiting room, after The Rock takes his daughter in for an emergency.
Recently I have had several days of work on several films. First, Bachelor Number 2 with Dane Cook, where I have a small background part as an office manager. Then I worked for three cold nights on a filmed called Tanner Hall, written and directed by Tatiana von Furstenburg. I shot scenes that occur at a New England style country carnival.. So be looking for me again on the big screen in about a year!
