Timothy Michael Cooper grew up in California and New York, attended high school in his house, and went on to earn a B.A. in philosophy at Yale University. He now works as a playwright, screenwriter, humorist, and restaurant critic in Manhattan. Some of his produced works are “The Chocolateer,”; the indie feature film “Realization”; the family musical “Scotch & Poison”; and “Saviour,” an Off-Broadway documentary drama. He created and directed the comedy food pilot “Served” and also directed the improvised children’s play “Sunny-Side Up: Children at Play!”. He insists that people refer to him by all three names, which may be why he has never held a full-time job.
