About Thomas

Thomas is a graduate of both the University of Western Australia (UWA), where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in English and Ancient History, and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), where he completed a Certificate II in Musical Theatre.
Since his undergraduate studies, Thomas has written for, and performed with, various independent theatre companies in Perth. The city’s cherished Midnite Youth Theatre Company commissioned a rewrite of one of his early collaborations, Viva La Restoration, which went on to be considered in the Hayes Theatre Company’s New Musicals Australia snapshot presentations in 2018.
As well as writing for stage, Thomas continues to explore writing for screen and audio narrative.
