a dynamic performer whose talent & PASSION transcend boundaries.
“As a theatre critic, it is RARE that I want to run back home and tell everyone about a show. But that’s what happened tonight with Thomas Ellenson in “It Is What It Is.”
A star has been born! Thomas has cerebral palsy and tells his story using modern technology but also with balletic swirls around the stage in his wheelchair, a wonderfully expressive face, and a keen sense of dramatic and comedic timing. In less than an hour, he takes us through his life, passions, and highs and lows in disarming and quick-witted way—helping us understand him and, more importantly, celebrating all our differences. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time - nor been more moved.”
