Andrew Carter

Andrew’s first show at TimeLine was THIS HAPPY BREED and the cast became a true family.  Also at TimeLine, he has appeared in THE PITMEN PAINTERS, FROST/NIXON, THE HISTORY BOYS and PRAVDA. He admires TimeLine’s insight and interest in developing artists.

TimeLine sees sparks.  Sparks deep within in actors, designers, playwrights, directors, and the audience. Those sparks get fanned and nurtured throughout the process, and that’s what ignites on the stage every night.

Andrew has also designed videos for TimeLine’s productions of THE FRONT PAGE, IN DARFUR, TO MASTER THE ART, ENRON, A WALK IN THE WOODS, BLOOD AND GIFTS, CONCERNING STRANGE DEVICES FROM THE DISTANT WEST, WASTELAND, 33 VARIATIONS, THE HOW AND THE WHY, INANA, THE APPLE FAMILY PLAYS, SUNSET BABY, and most of those silly Company videos you see at the annual Step Into Time Galas.

Inspired by TimeLine’s work and the importance of its mission, he became a TimeLine Associate Artist in 2011.

History becomes us. We become history. That’s the profound nature of the work produced at TimeLine.
