Laughter Is Sacred Space : The Not-So-Typical Journey of a Mennonite Actor by Ted Swartz

Ted Swartz and his Ted & Company

TheaterWorks team are known for blending

Bible stories with comedy and poignancy, and

pushing the envelope on issues of faith and

social justice. But who is Ted Swartz?

Follow along in this engaging memoir as

Swartz finds his way as a middle child in a

Mennonite home in eastern Pennsylvania,

to his early work in the family butcher shop,

to uprooting his young family to attend

seminary, to leaving behind the path of a

pastor and embracing life as a writer and actor.

Swartz’s engaging humor blends with his own

stories of triumph and tragedy, and helps

readers understand their own sense of place

and how they’re shaped by those around them.
