Jan Thomas

Dramaturg/Co-Producer/Director

Jan is our dramaturg, co-producer and director of Unboxing in Biloxi. She led her high school theater geek squad nobly and she was K. L. Sandstom’s muse! They would joke that Jan would direct Kim one day, but one day came, AND Kim directed Jan, as our 2nd Alice in Unboxing in Biloxi, May 2019!

Jan hails from Indianapolis, by way of Goshen, Indiana and Butler U. Jan retired from the IRS, is widely traveled and has kept her hands in theater one way or another over the years.

Jan Thomas and playwright Kim (Handgen) Sandstrom both went to Goshen High School where they competed together at speech meets and enjoyed the theatre program.

When Kim went to New York City, Jan went to Butler University in Indianapolis and returned to Goshen as the speech and theatre director where another Handgen, Kristine ( Moily), became a performing star. Jan later married and moved to Minneapolis and enjoyed working in the thriving community theatre there.
