Zac Thomas, Alphonse Dubois de Saligny

Zac is a native of Butte, Montana, and an alumni of the University of Montana. He landed in Austin a year ago after over two years of moving around the globe chasing the arts with his fiancée. He is extremely excited and grateful to be part of such a vibrant, active, talented, and welcoming arts community. Zac is the artistic director of the Buttenik Ensemble, a non-profit theater company bent on the creation of new theatric work through all available mediums and the ensemble process. The Butteniks are responsible for the creation of thirteen original productions over the last decade. Zac has worked as an actor, designer, and director for the Virginia City Players, Fort Peck Summer Theater, 6:01AM Productions, Wheel of Fire Productions, Missoula Children’s Theater, the Big Sky Repertory Theater, Chisel Industries, Skye Grace Bennet Productions, and Feral Films.  He is the founder of the theater writing collaborative The Table Assembly, and one half of the band Table. Zac’s Austin credits include Lee Harvey Oswald in The Sniper’s Nest for Last Act Theater and EVN Productions, Joe in Waiting for Lefty for Street Corner Arts, Steve in Welcome to the Moon for the Exchange Artists, and was a member of the ensemble that created Circle Your Wagons for the Exchange Artists. He enjoys pen and ink drawing, carpentry, chopping wood, and feeds himself by shingle roofing houses and bottling Kosmic Kombucha.  Zac would like to thank everyone for attending the show and keeping local theater alive.
