Save the Date for The Jeff Norton Awards!

The senseless murder of beloved actor Jeff Norton has brought the Tampa Bay area theatre community even closer together in grief. Now it’s time to share the joy of life Jeff exuded from every pore of his being. The Norton Awards were established to honor his memory and the extraordinary expanse of his talent while continuing Jeff’s tradition of supporting the next generation of actors. Please support this tribute to Jeff.

Keith Arsenault is seeking good digital files of PRODUCTION or PROMOTIONAL photos of Jeff from shows he worked on for video tribute for the NORTON AWARDS presentation. If digital files are not available, Keith can make them from hard copies. He also made the video presentation at the memorial so you know the finish product will be a visual treat for the eyes. [If you are unable to contact Keith through Facebook, make a comment here and I'll pass your information along ~ Ed]

The Norton People Present “Mr Kolpert”

We are theatre alumni of the University of South Florida, who have banded together to create a theatre company called “Norton People”. This unification was sparked by the recent tragic loss of our beloved mentor Jeff Norton, an unspeakably talented teacher and friend. We are currently based in Los Angeles, however we have members all over the US.

For our debut show, “Mr. Kolpert” we have cast members from Los Angeles and Florida, and our director will be flying in from New Jersey. Everyone- the director, stage manager, cast, etc. is donating their talents, time and travel expenses in the spirit of creativity and to honor our lost friend.

Inspirational Thoughts of Jeff

Sharing with us the most non discriminating, non judgemental mind I’ve encountered. Working as a Chimney Sweep in the rain in wintertime Seattle and teaching stage combat at the U of Washington at the same time, and never complaining about it. Acts of kindness towards the disabled, the downtrodden about which he’d be embarassed for you to know. Giving you his last beer. And going out and paying for more beer. For you. Always there for his mom. Always. In the 37 years I worked for Jeff, no matter how zany offstage, never losing character onstage. (Believe me, I tried on more than one occasion)

Pre-trial hearing set for October 4th in Florida vs Lafoe

The Sun is Dimmer Today

He took my cat to the vet when no one else could. It makes me smile remembering his twinkling eyes as he explained he never ran the A/C in his truck but he made an exception for a 5 pound grey persian who started to pant. Sappho, ever a good judge of character, was smitten with him.
