Ted's Bio
In 1987 Ted Swartz graduated from seminary and began a ministry that
took him not to a pulpit in a congregation, but to more than one
quarter million people across the U.S. and into Canada, Kenya, Japan,
and beyond.
The first 20 years of this work were done as part of the duo, Ted &
Lee. Since the sudden death of his acting partner in May 2007, Ted is
presenting his unique dramas with a variety of actors suited for the
roles. Fish-Eyes and Creation Chronicles—two
of the best-loved Ted & Lee performances—will be continue to be
part of the touring repertoire, along with several other shows which
are currently in the writing stage.
Blending poignancy and humor with biblical story, Ted has an uncanny
ability to bring archaic biblical characters to life in a way that
helps anyone identify with people who were at one time only names in a
big Book. It’s through this portrayal of these lifelike characters that
comedy emerges and audiences see God’s story in a whole new light.
Ted lives in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Along with writing and
acting, his loves include his wife, three sons, and baseball.
