State of Mind 2024!
Toasting Twenty Years of Second Thought Theatre!
The longevity and success of STT would not be possible without two vital individuals, and we are thrilled to announce our Honorary Chairs for our festive fête are Karol and Larry Omlor.
Through their love of theatre, leadership, and altruism, Second Thought has flourished. Since STT’s inception, their participation has been immeasurable, and we are delighted to recognize their selfless influence and philanthropy.

Honorary Chairs
Life-long theatre lovers and cultural advocates, Karol and Larry Omlor have been a vital part of the North Texas arts community for over 40 years. Larry is the philanthropist behind Karol’s passion for theatre and the arts. Karol has served on the board of Second Thought Theatre since its inception 20 years ago, and Karol suggested the idea of a fundraiser, State of Mind 10 years ago. Karol has also served on the boards of TACA (Grants Chair, Founders Circle Chair, Board of Governors Chair), Dallas Summer Musicals, Dallas Theater Center and the Dallas Theater Center Guild (Karol and Larry were Co-Presidents of the Guild in 1994-95), WaterTower Theatre (Board Secretary), Undermain Theatre (Development Chair) and Dallas Children’s Theater Advisory Board.
In addition to board service, the Omlors support Uptown Players, Theatre Three, Kitchen Dog Theatre, the Classics Theatre Project, Verdigris Ensemble, the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition (DACAC) and the Dallas Bathhouse Cultural Center. Karol was the co-founder of Women of WaterTower (WOW!), and the Studio Theatre at WaterTower is now named the Karol Omlor Studio Theatre.
Karol makes multiple trips annually to London, and sometimes brings home play suggestions for Second Thought Theatre.
