Tim Tennant- Sound & Technical Director
Born and raised in Northern Virginia, Tim’s entertainment journey began early, performing as a clown alongside his professional entertainer parents. Before turning 21, he was already a licensed Washington, D.C. tour guide, balancing his love for entertaining with a lifelong career in civil service, starting at George Mason University.
At 27, Tim packed up and moved to Florida, where he reconnected with his childhood friend—who later became his wife. He has continued his path of civil service and entertainment ever since. After more than 10 years working for Polk County, he transitioned into a federal career in logistics, while also moonlighting as a sound and light technician, bingo host, and trivia host.
In 2022, Tim joined a local theater as a volunteer stage technician. Today, we’re proud to have him as Ghostlight Troupe’s Sound & Technical Director, where his expertise and creativity help bring every show to life.
Tim Frenette- Engagement Coordinator / Actor
Born in Plantation, FL in 1978, Tim has called Polk County home since the 1990s. He proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1997–2001 before building a life in Babson Park, FL, where he resides with his family.
Tim discovered his love for performance several years ago, stepping into roles in local murder mysteries and short films. With a full-time career in the citrus industry, he balances his professional life with his passions for singing, acting, and spending time with loved ones.
As Engagement Coordinator and Actor with Ghostlight Troupe, Tim brings both heart and humor to every production, helping create unforgettable experiences for audiences and fellow artists alike.
Seth Zarandona- Director/Actor
Seth Zarandona has been a theatre kid for most of his life, from middle school acting classes to high school plays and cabaret performances from age 15.
He was even crazy enough to major in Theatre when he went to college at Georgia Southwestern State University, and hasn’t stopped for a second.
Seth has found something to love in every character he’s played over the years, but his absolute favorites include Riff Raff in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” Robert in “The Play That Goes Wrong,” Charles Pomeroy in “Bloody Murder,” Feste in “Twelfth Night,” and Lefou in “Beauty and the Beast.”
Misty Tennant- Front of House Coordinator
Entertainment runs in Misty’s blood, her grandfather toured the world entertaining millions with his singing, puppeteering, comedy, and even playing the spoons professionally. Her father carried that creative spirit into service, joining the Navy at just 18 as a radioman aboard the USS Wasp, USS Independence, and USS Iowa. After his service, he brought his technical skills home, working as a sound technician for many churches in South Florida.
Misty proudly carries on her family’s entertainment legacy. She has been a part of local theater for years, providing front of house support, assisting with sound and lights, and lending her creativity to design.

Tiffany & Joe Margist- Margist Market
“Food has always been at the heart of our story. We met in culinary school in 2004 and spent years working in and out of commercial kitchens, always dreaming of creating something rooted in our values. As farmers, we believe the best meals begin with fresh, local ingredients. In 2023, we launched our mobile food business to bring farm-to-table cooking on the road—connecting people with the flavors of the land and the farmers who grow them.”
But their talents don’t stop at food! Joe can be found on stage acting with Ghostlight Troupe, while Tiffany lends her creativity by writing murder mysteries and helping with costumes and props.
