Timothy S. Mayer

Timothy S. Mayer (1944-1988) divided his time between business and the arts. He won the Phyllis Anderson Award at Harvard, where he founded the Agassiz Theatre Company with Thomas Babe, and to which he returned in 1981 as Artist-in-Residence. He was Levine Senior Fellow at Yale and a Rockefeller Fellow in Public Television, for which he wrote and directed Jesus: A Passion Play and appeared in a one-man talk show. In addition to many reinterpretations of the classics, he directed and designed a number of premier productions including The Tennis Game and Prairie Avenue by George W.S. Trow, The Old Man by Wallace Shawn, and his own Red Eye and Alladin In Three Acts, the last in association with Peter Ivers.
