Exclusive Interview: Director Jeff Thomakos of Inspired Acting Company’s ‘Scrooge in Rouge’
Reimagined stories are quite popular at the moment, as audiences love to revisit some of their favorite shows or movies through a new lens. Think of Wicked, a retelling of the classic Frank Baum novel (and the MGM film for that matter), The Wizard of Oz, from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West, which is currently thriving in the cinema. It’s in that same vein that the Inspired Acting Company is bringing their holiday show to their stage, Scrooge in Rouge, a hilarious stage production of A Christmas Carol, where nothing seems to go quite right! We spoke with the show’s director, Jeff Thomakos, about his time on the production and what audiences can expect from Scrooge in Rouge!
In this exclusive BSB interview, Thomakos discusses what drew him to the project and how it has challenged him as a director! He explores how the show still channels the holiday spirit, while also placing a strong emphasis on the hijinks within the production! With only three actors on stage playing every character in the show, Thomakos discusses how the cast and crew are pulling everything off, and shares just how much fun everyone is having working on Scrooge in Rouge!
