MR. TIM LINDEEN

Picture
A native of Iowa, Mr. Tim studied Speech and Theatre at Iowa Wesleyan College and Iowa State University. He has acted in and directed numerous plays and musicals for the past 40 years.  One of his best memories is playing Linus in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" opposite Lucy, played by Mrs. Linda!  That was the start of a romance that led to marriage and the Lindeen's lifelong love of musical theatre...together! 

Tim's favorite role is Dad to three grown, married children and Grandad to 13 grandchildren!  Mr. Tim has been an active Realtor in the NW Twin City Metro area for the past 30+ years. He also enjoyed the role of Worship Leader on worship teams and acting in productions at his local church for many years.

Mr. Tim teaches with the highest standards of excellence while always striving to create a joyful experience for each student as they develop their acting and drama skills. He is known for taking each of his students at their current level of skills and stretching them as he teaches and directs them. He is passionate about continuing to teach the love of acting and appreciation of good drama to today’s generation and also mentoring directors on his staff to follow in his footsteps for the next generation of student actors!

Tim is also the Set Designer for all FPMT shows and loves to design and paint, while he mentors student and adult volunteers to create amazing, beautiful sets.
