The James Library & Center for the Arts Presents Robert Frost: Light and Dark

The James Library & Center for the Arts, Norwell’s historic community arts center and lending library, presents a performance of Robert Frost: Light and Dark by actor J.T. Turner on Sunday, January 21, 3 pm at First Parish of Norwell’s Parish Hall, 24 River Street, Norwell. The event is sponsored by the Hanover Cultural Council, HUB International, the Estelle Mosher Memorial Fund, the Norwell Cultural Council and the Norwell Historical Society.

Robert Frost was described by a friend as “a good poet, but a bad man.” America’s great poet comes to life in the highly-praised one-man show Robert Frost: Light and Dark. J.T. Turner, appearing in the role of Robert Frost, relates stories of the poet’s life, the tragedy as well as the humor, and reads some of his most popular poems, including “Mending Wall,” “Birches,” “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” “Late Walk,” “Desert Places,” “Road Not Taken,” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” For fans of Frost’s work, this is a remarkable and intimate journey through the life of the Pulitzer Prize© winning poet.

J.T. Turner is an award-winning professional actor, director and writer, with credits on stage, screen and audio. A member of SAG-AFTRA and Actors Equity, Turner is also a historical re-enactor, touring theaters, museums, schools, libraries and churches in original shows. He is the founder and director of Moonlight Productions, a theater company dedicated to using theater as an outreach tool for children and teens, and Artistic Director of The Actors Company, a performing group that works with non-profits. Turner is also a professional lecturer, fight choreographer, circus ringmaster, and acting and public speaking coach.
