This autobiographical stunner invites you into the extraordinary and hilariously insightful world of Thomas Ellenson. Born with cerebral palsy, Thomas has faced countless obstacles and his show balances sharp humor and raw honesty as he takes the audience through his determined and deeply affecting life.
From school struggles to adult relationships to his adventures as an actor, Thomas’s story is shaped not simply by disability, but by friendships, disappointments, love, and an unyielding drive to embrace his life experience and a heart that’s impossible to ignore. The play also delves fearlessly into Thomas’s medical journey, where his wit and imagination stare down waves of adversity.
Thomas is not only a stage actor but has also recently appeared as a guest star in Ryan Murphy’s latest TV show, Grotesquerie, and in the Disney movie Out of My Mind.
A remarkable storyteller with a boundless spirit, Thomas masterfully packs the show with laugh-out-loud moments and striking emotional depth. A must-see for anyone craving laughter, reflection, and joy. “Well, Life Sucks” will undoubtedly leave you inspired to embrace the unpredictability of your own life.
