Fran Thomas co-authored a play when she was in fourth grade primarily so she could have the leading role. She has loved theater ever since. She appeared in several community theater productiions in Pittsburgh including South Pacific, Pajama Game, and Li'l Abner. With two insurance company co-workers, she created and performed "Around the World in Broadway" on the Three Rivers Arts Festival Fringe Stage.
A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, Fran now makes her home in Southwest Florida.
Players Circle Theater presents the hilarious musical comedy I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE with book and lyrics by two-time Tony winner Joe DePietro and music by Jimmy Roberts.
Musical theater performers must do it all and make it look easy. The actors appearing in Godspell at Players Circle Theater more than meet the challenge with exuberance. They act, sing, and dance and then add pantomime, funny accents, and playing musical instruments to the mix. And get up close and personal with the audience, making eye contact without missing a beat.

What did our critic think of SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS at Players Circle Theater? Players Circle Theater has chosen a play that I’m guessing hit close to home for many in the audience. In Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks, a lonely older woman hires a younger male ballroom dance teacher to come to her St. Petersburg condo for lessons.
I made my first visit to Players Circle Theater to see the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Proof. The intimate confines of this black box-like venue are perfect for this four-character play.
