Tenor, director, actor, and Boston area native Teddy Crecelius is a 2008 graduate of the Middlebury College theatre department, with an emphasis on directing. After graduation, he spent a year as a member of Counterpoint, a professional vocal ensemble based in Vermont, directed by Robert DeCormier. Since then, Teddy has pursued various performing opportunities in the Boston area. Previous opera credits include Kasper in two productions of Amahl and the Night Visitors with Opera by the Bay and First Church, Wenham, Spoletta in Tosca with Longwood Opera, chorus/ Remendado cover in Boston Opera Collaborative’s production of Carmen, and the grocery boy in A Dinner Engagement at Opera Company of Middlebury. Equally at home with musical theatre, he most recently appeared as Ugly in the North Shore Players’ production of Honk! Earlier theatrical roles include productions with Gurnet Theatre Project, Wheelock Family Theatre, Huntington Theatre Company, Lyric Stage, Súgán Theatre Company, Lyric West Theatre, and Turtle Lane Playhouse.

As a director, Teddy’s work to date includes three college student productions, a one woman show by Boston area actress Eda Roth, a term as Drama Advisor and director at Middlebury Union High School, and several smaller projects. While living in Kyoto, Japan, in the spring of 2007, Teddy had the opportunity to independently produce, direct, design, and act in an original adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince. This trilingual production, at the KyoRyuKan studio in Kyoto, incorporated elements as diverse as traditional Japanese noh theatre, Western avant-garde, and Debussy art song.
