"By expression, movement, and attitude, Thomas invites us into his non- verbal universe and manages to draw the audience to him from the moment he arrives on stage. I would highly recommend Thomas as a professional and very creative performer and his craft at mime is at its best".

"Thomas Schroyer's charming comic character is a descendant of Chaplin's Tramp, but with routines about modern concerns"
The Oregonian
"Clever and engaging! Thomas explores and celebrates our universal curiosity in life".
Ben Sandler, Education Director, Congregation Beth Israel
Thomas is a gifted physical performer and a heartfelt storyteller, as he completely captivated the audience with the sweetness of his very expressive face and the physical prowess he brought to the performance. Everyone in the audience, as well as his fellow performers, were moved by the honesty of the story of his hearing loss and equally captivated by the demonstration of how much he had turned that loss into an asset.
Barbara Fankhauser - President, Portland Storytellers' Guild
We were impressed with Thomas' improvisational ability to interact with the crowd and invite individuals, young and old, to participate in the sketches. As our organization is very participation-based this was an important element to our presentation. Thomas sweetly condensed our message and we definitely plan to include him in future presentations.
