Playwright Bill C. Thomas says of Duo, "It's the most mainstream play with music I have written to date. It is sprinkled with the magic dust of honesty. It addresses the sheer work of long-term material commitment and the mathematics of faith required to make such marriages work."
Thomas has written and produced 20 experimental plays during a 40 year time span. These include Home Movie, a multimedia theatrical event at the School of the Art Institute; Starstruck, a rock musical at a musicians' warehouse in Chicago; Burst!, a history of theatre event in Portland, Oregon, and Chairs, an audience-participation event, SoHo, New York. His theatrical events often combine live actors, live music, film, slides, sound-on-tape, and special lighting effects.
He has produced 75 special events, including the Berghoff Street Festival, and similar festivals in Lakeview, Andersonville, and at Navy Pier. Thomas, a former journalist, previously was a publisher of poetry and art books guest-edited by such artists as Andy Warhol/Gerald Malanga; and Gary Snyder as well as producer of poetry chapbooks by James Broughton, Ruth Krauss, and Philip Whalen, among others.
