AN EVENING WITH FIDEL, an original play in two acts, incorporating historic film footage and mixed media design. Tim Perez gives a bravura performance, recreating scenes from the life of one of the most complex characters of our times, using his own words, gleaned from interviews, speeches and personal recollections.

Tim began his professional career in Theatre when he graduated from NYU with a Masters Degree in Fine Arts. Recognized immediately for his unique talents, he was cast by Joseph Papp for Shakespeare in the Park in New York. Years of classical and contemporary performances followed at the leading United States theatres across the country. He then spent 10 years in Los Angeles working in film and television. In 2002 he moved to Canada to raise his son with his Canadian wife the Artist/Designer Gail Taylor, and has had a steady career working as an actor, most recently having had a reoccurring role in the TV series Alcatraz.

A multi-year odyssey into the life and times of Fidel Castro resulted in a nine-character drama currently being developed at The Ensemble Studio in Los Angeles with artistic director Gates McFadden. Recently under the encouragement and creative direction of Producer Fiona Jackson, Tim created ‘An Evening With Fidel,’ a one-man play.
