Timothy Kuryak

Timothy Kuryak After starting at the bottom, fetching coffee for some of theatre's most powerful producers of the great white way, and making his way up to Assistant Director of one of Broadway's longest-running musicals, Timothy headed west to try his luck in television. He then spent a few years in syndicated television, interviewing celebrities and producing segments featuring musicals coming through town, before directing the first season of "Big Brother" for CBS, and then focused his attention at two cable network start-ups. He then segued to international TV production for FOX, where he oversaw the international production of such formats as "Beauty & the Geek," "The Simple Life," and "Temptation Island" among others. In 2008, he was instrumental in the start-up and launch of Discovery Communications' PLANET GREEN network before segueing to OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network where he was VP, Programming. Most recently he served as VP of Production & Development (West Coast) for TLC, overseeing such shows as the "Say Yes to Dress" franchise, "Little People, Big World," "Who Do You Think You Are?" and "My 600lb Life" to name a few. Currently, he is the Executive Producer of "Who Do You Think You Are?" with Season 5 premiering this summer on TLC.

They say there is no culture in LA (well aside from what's in yogurt), but he is here to prove that axiom wrong. Anxious to begin covering the state of theatre here in the Southland (that's what the local news likes to call Southern California), neither earthquakes, fires, mudslides, nor high-speed freeway chases will keep him from his appointed rounds of giving you the scoop on the Left Coast theatre happenings!
