Thad Avery

Uncle in Beethoven Lives Upstairs

Mr. Avery has been fortunate to perform in a variety of projects around the world.  He is based in Chicago, IL with his wife Cheryl, and two children, Spencer and Grace.  A proud union member of all three performing unions his first professional show was with Milwaukee Repertory Theatre.  He received his training from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. There he performed in a number of shows ranging from the Classics to many musicals.  After graduation, he was a company member of Utah Shakespearean Festival and traveled around the world with an international comedy troupe.  The troupe was featured at World Entertainment in Japan and also at the Wintergarten in Berlin.  When Thad returned home he started a long and rewarding relationship with the musical, Forever Plaid.  The production took him from Door County, WI to the first national tour, Las Vegas, and back home to Chicago. Other appearances in Chicago include: I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, The Wizard of Oz, Charlotte's Web, Alice in Wonderland, and The Nutcracker. Special thanks to my mentor, the late Robert Hazzard, for his guidance.
