Riley Thomas (Playwright, Monday) was in 3rd grade when the local community theatre chose to perform his short The Shoes and the Spaceship as part of their repertoire. Yes, they even embarrassed him and performed it at his school. Since then, however, his embarrassment has morphed into fulfillment. A songwriter as well, his musical "Stuck" will soon be making its New York debut with Crazy Mojo Productions. Is that it? Certainly not, but that's all you need for now.
Riley Thomas (Actor, Tuesday) was bribed into show business with a bag of jelly beans. No, but seriously, he was eight and his mom wanted him to audition for a play. She thought it would culture him. Little did she know it would lead him to perform in 37 different states (including Alaska) in three different languages (YOU try faking Russian convincingly) and even places in Europe (where his chaperone wouldn't let him buy wine). He looks forward to whatever is next, as should you.
