Who’s Who on the Production Team
Tim Bair (Scenic Designer) grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, and began his theatrical journey in the delightfully obscure holiday musical Santa’s Elf Saves Christmas, playing the enthusiastic (and possibly one-time-only) role of Paddy the Pixie.
He went on to perform on the Theatre in the Park stage, where his passion for performance evolved into a love of production when he served as the choreographer for classic musicals such as Oklahoma! (still a favorite), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and West Side Story, marking the start of a lifelong career behind the scenes.
Tim’s professional path soon led him around the globe, where he performed as a featured dancer and vocalist on a world cruise, eventually landing in New York City. There, he joined the European tours of 42nd Street and My One and Only (starring Disney legend Jodi Benson), and spent ten years performing with The Foot and Fiddle Dance Company, and performed regionally in shows including Fiddler on the Roof, Funny Girl, The Will Roger’s Follies, and On The Town.
He also served as Artistic Director of the historic Millbrook Playhouse in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania — one of the country’s oldest and original straw hat theatres. Seeking warmer weather and new opportunities, Tim moved west to Phoenix, Arizona, directing and choreographing for regional theatres across the country. He later became Artistic Director of the American Musical Theatre of San Jose before returning to his hometown in 2010.
Today, Tim serves as the Producing Artistic Director of The Theatre in the Park, one of the largest outdoor community theatres in the United States, where he continues to nurture and celebrate the spirit of live performance in Kansas City.
Through his remarkable journey, Tim has come to believe that every note sung and
every step taken in the performing arts has the power to ignite the human spirit. When we support these arts, we not only preserve the magic of the stage, but we uplift the artists, dreamers, and communities that create it. The performing arts have the power to awaken the human spirit, unite us across boundaries, and inspire us to reach for what we never thought possible. So, embrace the arts in every way you can—they make life richer, fuller, and more beautiful.
Love to Alan and Sophie... my two favorite people in the world.
