About Spoli Productions
Spoli Productions was formed in 2001 to produce live theatre, educational programs, and acting workshops. It was an entrepreneurial adventure taken on by Thomas Schuch as a way to invigorate and give him control of his professional acting career. The first project involved producing, directing, performing, and touring Willard Simms' full-length play, Einstein: A Stage Portrait. Since then, while still touring Einstein, Spoli has also produced many acting workshops, lecture demonstrations, as well as, Alan Arkin's Crossing the Chasm From Theatre to Life: A Forum in Improvisation. In addition, a large part of Spoli's mission is to bring theatre and theatre education to young people and to expose them to science by using the immediacy and intimacy of theatre as a vehicle.
