Tim Bray graduated as a Bachelor of Science in 1992 but his first job out of Auckland University was as an actor, and he’s been one ever since. He has since added playwright, producer and director to his CV, without a science laboratory in sight. His passion for many years has been writing and creating theatre for children, and his theatre company Tim Bray Productions annually draws large audiences. “Tim Bray is creating the next generation of Auckland thespians and their audiences. Take your child to a Tim Bray Production and you know they will have had a rich theatrical experience.” citymix magazine
As well as his numerous plays for children, Tim has written and created solo shows for adults. As a character actor and stand-up comedian he has performed at many corporate and private functions throughout the country and overseas. He also performs for schools and community events. 

In 2017, Tim received The Queen's Service Medal for services to children and theatre.
