Every estranged member of the Lafayette clan has descended upon the crumbling Arkansas homestead to settle the accounts of their newly-dead patriarch. As his three adult children sort through a lifetime of hoarded mementos and junk, they collide over clutter, debt, and a contentious family history. But after a disturbing discovery surfaces among their father’s possessions, the reunion takes a turn for the explosive and unleashes crackling surprises, gut-punching honesty, and uproarious confrontations.

The Thanksgiving Play

In October, Thomas returned to Lean Ensemble Theater in Hilton Head Island, appearing in Larissa FastHorse’s The Thanksgiving Play, directed by Maggie Kettering.

Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally “woke” teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.

This Is Derek

Thomas recently starred in the short “This Is Derek”, part of the Warehouse Theatre’s Long Story Short, written by Paul Grellong (Manuscript, Amazon’s The Boys) and directed by Quinn Xavier Hernandez (assistant director for Warehouse’s Hedwig & the Angry Inch and Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson).

We commissioned 9 of the best playwrights working today and asked them to create short pieces specifically for Warehouse actors working with Upstate directors. The result is LONG STORY SHORT: 9 Short Plays From the Longest Year Of Our Lives.

Divided States

The pilot for Divided States won the Best TV Pilot award at the Bare Bones International Film & Music Festival and Circle City Film Festival! Additionally, the pilot was an official selection at Web Series Festival (Nominated, Best Comedy Pilot) and Orlando Film Festival.

After a religious vision convinces him he’s the chosen one to stop the President’s agenda, cash-advance tycoon Teddy Richardson (Thomas Azar), with help from his mischievous nonagenarian grandmother, launches a bid to take over the his local Democratic Party chapter, much to the consternation of his wife and friends.
