Welcome to the home page of Tedfred Ellis Myers
III
You can call me Ted, Tedfred, TF or
some things you don't say in public, but don't call me
Fred cause he's
my brother.
WORK
I am Technical Co-ordinator and a lighting designer at the School of
Dramatic Art
at the University of
Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. In my spare
time I freelance professionally as a I.A.T.S.E. lighting technician and stage hand
at the local road house the Chrysler Theatre.
FAMILY
I have a lovely wife Nancy (who's a scenic designer and scene painter)
and two wild guys Rob and Bry. While I spend a lot of time at the theatre
I coach for Windsor Riverside Little
League. In sports I root for the Tigers
and the Red Wings.
History
I was born at an Air Force base in PA in 1955. My Dad died two months later
so we moved to Gainesville FL. I grew up there (sold cokes at the Gator
games) until I left for military school in 1970. I was at the Sewanee Academy for four years after which I headed to Florida
Southern College.
While there I did lights for the college road house and studied drama.
God I hated acting. It was during this time I made one of those fork in
the road decisions. I turned down an offer to do lights touring Florida with a
little bar band called Tom Petty and the Heart Throbs (no they weren't the
Heartbreakers yet). After college I worked in Atlanta for a while then
went to Wayne
State University Hilberry Theatre and got my MFA in Scenic Design. It was at
Wayne I met Jules who introduced me to the UofW and Canada. I took a
part time job here then got married, bought a car, had kids , bought a
house, and I'm still here.
