Evalyn Ann Thomas (1861[1] – March 27, 1950) was an American arts educator and theatre professional. She taught at the University of California, Los Angeles, from 1917 to 1938, during its transition from a normal school to a branch of the University of California system. She was known for her elaborate annual productions of Greek dramas on campus.
- ^ Thomas's birth year is given variously across sources; her gravestone gives 1861, and that appears accurate or nearly so: She appeared in the 1870 census as a ten-year-old; she does not appear in her family's home in the 1860 census. (via Ancestry,com)
