TSF (Two Silly Fathers) Productions sprung to life in 1992, at the annual picnic for Encore Performing Arts, Inc., when Richard Stillman and Craig Babcock (each represented separately by Encore) spontaneously created a theatre piece to entertain Richard's twin daughters. Although they barely knew each other, they took immediate stock of their surroundings, and clicked into comic sync, creating and performing "Two Silly Fathers in the Same Chair" to everyone's delight. A month later, when Encore needed an additional show for the Columbus Quincentennial, Craig and Richard created Columbus Sails the Ocean Blue, which they performed 50 times. When they decided to continue to work together as a company, and do The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, their choice of name was obvious—TSF Productions.
TSF brings the joy and excitement of professional theatre to young audiences with familiar stories and splendid productions!
