We at T. Schreiber are so very excited for our FIRST show of the 2011-2012 Season, Lobby Hero by Kenneth Lonergan. In preparation for the play Time Out New York hailed “a masterpiece,” we will be giving weekly shout-outs to our Lobby Heroes who allow us to do what we do and who make our lives that much easier.n
Our Third Lobby Hero of the week is Jim Heaphy!
Jim is the very definition of a Lobby Hero! Jim gives and give and just when you think he can’t give any more, he does! Jim has kindly agreed to do pro bono consulting for us to make sure all our NYPD info is accurate AND he’s agreed to do a few after-show talkbacks with the audience for us. We are very grateful to have Jim as a member of our team!nnJim was in the police academy from July 1983 to December 1983 at the age of 20 years old. After the academy, Jim went to training unit for 6 months before he was assigned to the Midtown North Precinct located on 54th street. Jim stayed at Midtown North from 1984 until 2003, when he left the Police Department to pursue his dream of being an actor. While with the NYPD Jim was a uniformed officer who worked midnights, he was in a plainclothes burglary unit, then a pickpocket unit before moving upstairs to the Detective Squad. Jim was promoted to Detective third grade in 1993 and again in 2000 he promoted to Detective second grade before retiring in the spring of 2003. Jim is currently a New York based professional actor and a member of AEA, SAG and AFTRA. In addition to his work in the theatre, Jim has been fortunate enough to do principal work in both film and television. In 2011 he began studying at T. Schreiber Studios by taking the “Six Week Winter Conservatory.” For a list of his Credits and Contact Info go to http://www.imdb.me/jamesheaphy
