In Inis Nua Theatre Company's upcoming production of Hymn by Lolita Chakrabarti, actor Dwayne Alistair Thomas will be taking the stage. Recently, Thomas chatted with Neal Zoren to discuss his acting journey and how he had to re-invent himself during the pandemic.

Branching out has been a blessing. When I was just focused on acting, I was able to build a career, but acting is like the girl that doesn’t love you all the time. There’s busy periods, and there’s lulls. There’s being on a television sound stage with lead actors from television shows and being on stage when you’re the lead. Then comes a pandemic that stops all you’re doing, and you have to figure out how you’re going to live as a person who needs food and shelter and as an artist.

Readers who follow the link will find a profile of the actor, including his impressive TV credits and the challenges he faced during the pandemic. Dwayne brings a wealth of experience and passion to his role in Hymn, and audiences can look forward to seeing him in action.
