Norm Tiedemann

May 21, 2019 By opendoorct

Technical director, lights and sound design

How I spend my days: Retired but working for High Tech Kids, a nonprofit that runs school-age robotics programs in Minnesota.

My most enjoyable past theater role: Behind the scenes: doing the sound for Woodbury Community Theatre’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. When the choir was singing and the music was playing, I was ringing the big loud bells. Onstage: I was the archbishop for the Minnesota Opera’s production of Tosca. It took me 15 minutes with help to put on my costume (which was imported from Rome), and I was on stage for only 8 minutes.

One word to describe myself: Smiling.

A surprising thing about me: Someday I would like to unify general relativity with quantum theory.

What I do for fun: Summer water sports, swimming, skiing, jet skiing, sailing.

Volunteer activities: Anywhere I can (church, schools, theaters), all the time. Because it’s the way I was brought up and I’m able to.
