Coming off of directing Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) at Playhouse on Park, Tom directs Luck of the Ibis by Jonathan Goldberg as part of the Great SCoT: New Plays festival run by the Shelby Company.

From the release: "A fractured adventure filled with girl detectives, a chupacabra, a museum hidden inside a zeppelin, and...shrimp. This soaring fable of fanciful fact and mournful fiction examines the stories we must tell to keep safe in a cruel world."
