The Unseen, American Actors Company, Cherry Lane Theatre, Directed by Lisa Denman

"...the gruesome show-stopping speech is delivered by Thomas Ward as a mysterious character named Smash." --Anita Gates, The New York Times

"...the playwright offers something new here, mostly in the form of a prison guard beautifully played by Thomas Ward." --Sam Thielman, Variety

"...it's Thomas Ward as their guard and sometime torturer -- nicknamed Smash -- who delivers the most commanding performance. His empathy for his captives is initially presented as almost comical, but his final speech about how he's attempted to rectify this perceived flaw in his character is absolutely chilling." --Dan Bacalzo, TheaterMania.com 

"...as a conflicted guard who manages to torture and rape the two men while simultaneously empathizing with them, Thomas Ward is a welcome kinetic relief." --Mark Peikert, Backstage

"...Wright's Kafka-tinged work is about epistemology and the limits of perception, and these themes come to a bloody head in the play's most original character: the hulking Smash (Ward), a torturer unable to divorce himself emotionally from the reality of the pain he inflicts. --Adam Feldman, TimeOut New York  

Humble Boy by Charlotte Jones, WaterTower Theatre, Directed by Terry Martin 

"Mr. Ward, a new acting professor at Baylor University (and a playwright on his own time), is utterly believable as a genius on the edge."--Lawson Taitte, The Dallas Morning News

"The actors get it, particularly Thomas Ward in the title role of the mordant Felix Humble."--Elaine Liner, Dallas Observer

"As Felix Humble, the troubled son, Thomas Ward dazzled with emotion.  Through fervent line readings and anguished expressions, Mr. Ward more than adequately displayed the anguish of Felix." --Joseph Melnicoff, BroadwayWorld.com Dallas

The Merry Wives of Windsor, Nashville Shakespeare Festival, Directed by Brenda Sparks 

"Nashville native Thomas Ward is absolutely perfect as the full-figured knight, mopping sweat and spewing Shakespeare’s prose with convincing fervor."--Amy Stumpfl, Nashville City Paper
