A new solo play by J.T. Turner
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” – Ernest Hemingway
Join Ernest Hemingway (J.T. Turner) as he reflects on his prolific works and adventurous, action-filled life. Starting as a reporter in Kansas City, Hemingway’s punchy writing style soon elevated him to international renown. The Nobel and Pulitzer prize winning author explores love, loss, vulnerability, war, and human connection through timeless works like The Old Man and The Sea, For Whom The Bell Tolls, The Sun Also Rises, and A Farewell To Arms. In this well-researched and original portrayal of the legendary writer, award-winning actor & playwright J. T. Turner brings Hemingway vibrantly to life. 45 minutes plus optional audience Q & A time.
J.T. Turner (SAG-AFTRA, AEA) is an award-winning stage, screen and audio actor, teaching artist and speaker. He has toured theaters, museums, schools, universities, historical sites, libraries, and senior centers all over the North America with his original one-man shows, including: “Robert Frost, Light and Dark,” “The Adventures of Benjamin Franklin”, “Shakespeare’s Ghost,” “A Visit with C.S. Lewis”, “Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol”, “John Muir: Father of America’s Parks,” “Washington Irving in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, “A Visit with John Steinbeck,” and “Fitzgerald & Gatsby,” “Hemingway’s Last Drink,” as well as storytelling, mindful movement, and theater education programs.
J.T.’s original play “Within These Walls” was featured at the Smithsonian Museum of American History and awarded an Essex National Heritage Pioneer in Partnerships Award. His Mill Talk: The Charles Dickens Lectures” was commissioned by The Lowell Institute & Charles River Museum of Industry, and he has served as an on-camera historical consultant on The Travel Channel. He has been awarded multiple Pinnacle Awards from
The Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration, and is recipient of the Massachusetts History Alliance 2024 Star Award. (edited)
