Thomas was last seen in his MAC Award winning show "Dreaming Wide Awake," a show about how dreaming can alter the course of a life. When not on the stage, he has spent the last 17 years studying with Shamans from around the world. Despite all the cultural differences, what he resoundingly learned was that to truly celebrate life, you must fully embrace death. A self-proclaimed "Dark Humorist", Honeck's "Dancing with Death" carefully weaves crafted stories into songs to provide a thought provoking, but comic look at life through the eyes of death. It is a ruminating rumba on our relationship with Death and how her choreography can influence life, featuring songs by Peter Gabriel, Laura Nyro, Chris De Burgh and Mary Chapin-Carpenter. The dance card will be one of Music, Merriment and Madness - well, just a touch. Directed by his creative partner, Lisa Moss, the same team that produced the critically acclaimed "Social Intercourse" and "Sing Me A Story." Thomas and Lisa were both recently honored with a 2014 Bistro Award for being a highly innovative and creative team. Musical Direction by Andrew Sotomayor, with Jordan Jancz on cello.
