Tom Key has served as Executive Artistic Director of Theatrical Outfit since 1995, where his drive to tell “Stories That Stir The Soul” in the heart of downtown with the best artists of the region has developed the company into one of Atlanta’s major performing arts institutions. As a solo performer and ensemble actor, Tom Key has been in demand across North America for three decades, including appearances at The Lambs Theater off-Broadway, The John F. Kennedy Center of Washington D.C., The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, The Dallas Theater Center, The Alliance Theater and Theatrical Outfit. With the late singer-songwriter, Harry Chapin, he conceived and co-authored the off-Broadway musical hit, Cotton Patch Gospel, still one of the most produced plays in the musical catalogue. Most recently he has adapted John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces in a highly successful world premiere at Theatrical Outfit and starred as Mark Rothko in Theatrical Outfit’s critically acclaimed production of Red. Tom is dedicated to the Theatrical Art Form as a catalyst to creating community.
