Dr. Quincy Thomas

Quincy’s Ph.D. in Theatre and their Performance Studies certification are both from Bowling Green State University. As an actor, director, intimacy coordinator, and playwright, their offerings focus on subjects such as counter-storytelling; Black performativity in American media; representations of the marginalized in popular culture, stand up and solo performance, and performative writing. As a professor in the Kalamazoo College Theatre Arts Department, Quincy employs their passion for theatre, performance studies, and film while speaking to issues surrounding cultural marginalization and misrepresentation in the arts, specifically of racial and ethnic minorities, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Their most recent directorial offering was California Suite. Some of their favorite roles played include Christopher in Blue/Orange, Albert in Clybourne Park, Touchstone in As You Like It, Lord Longeville in Love’s Labours Lost, Selsdon in Noises Off, and Actor in Nassim Soleimanpour’s White Rabbit; Red Rabbit. Recently their play, The Whites Explain It All, was selected as the full-length play for the 2023 Region III Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. When not seeing to the aforementioned undertakings, Quincy is writing a new play entitled, Theatre Kids.
