David Tulloch Playwright of the Week

David Tulloch was born in Jamaica in 1981. This gifted young man, with his energetic passion for life, has already distinguished himself as a performer of note, award winning poet, award winning writer and playwright, producer, singer and composer. Even as he continues to hone an obvious gift for writing, several of his plays have been successfully produced and include the JMTC’s “Boardwalk in Broadway”, “The Glass Slipper”, and “Rockin’ Romeo”. Quite distinctly, this versatile young role model is also a Champion Black Belt on the tournament level. [more…]

As if to defy stereotypical classifications, another side to this multi-faceted young man is his business acumen. He is currently a manager at Great River Adventures, Hanover, Jamaica. His integrity, maturity and industry are called upon daily in the execution of the various duties required in his delivery of a quality tourist attraction product.

Perhaps motivated by his many successes in other spheres, he marked the year 2000 to realize his long contemplated dream to launch Probemaster Entertainment and has used this production company to provide employment and to mount several of the later works of his prolific pen. 2004 proved a watershed year for his bourgeoning talents, and his powerful “Another Time, Another Place” copped the prestigious ITI Actor Boy Award for Best New Jamaican Play. He remains the youngest playwright to have earned this distinction. All of this before a 25th birthday can only point to an even brighter future.

His exemplary track record has no doubt inspired many of his peers and earned much admiration for his combination of academic success (Bachelors in English and Philosophy), involvement in sport and community development, commitment to nation building (taught Language & Literature and headed the Drama Department at Wolmers Boys School). With a growing body of solid work in the theatre circuit and his sound sense of viable commercial business he is poised for greater success in this field.

David is actively involved in music production and is currently in the process of recording his debut album entitled “24 Chocolates”, which is set for release in before the Summer of 2011. With such generous gifts of talent and academic prowess, more excellence is expected to come from this versatile young man as he sets the stage for his career in singing.
