Taelen Thomas is a unique entertainer, orator, actor, poet and teacher who brings stories and people to life with a resonant delivery and powerful stage presence. He has been performing his one-man shows throughout America in theatres, halls, hotels, schools, outdoor gatherings, and private homes since 1970.

Taelen's presentations of John Steinbeck, Jack London, Stanley Ketchel and Mark Twain are excellent for evening shows, luncheons, and conferences. And he can enliven your cocktail or theme party as a special guest or host in character as Jack London, John Steinbeck, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jim Thorpe, Ogden Nash, Mark Twain, Daniel Boone, Teddy Roosevelt, Robert Burns, Leonardo da Vinci, O. Henry, Ambrose Bierce, or "Black Bart the Po8."

Taelen's programs are adjusted in length and format to fit particular needs. Each one is a work of art that his audiences never forget .An unusual and effective format has been developed for meeting break performances. Taelen breaks his show into several segments, each one being only a few minutes long, reminiscent of the cliffhangers in the movies of the 1920s. The segments are performed over the course of the meeting, and the captive audience is often literally on the edges of their chairs, refreshed and invigorated.
