In its latest episode, The Renaissance Podcast includes a conversation with actor Stephen Joshua Thompson.

A local favorite, Thompson has portrayed characters like Marius in Les Miserables, Burt in Mary Poppins, and Rum Tum Tugger in Cats. He recently performed in Mansfield again in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. Take a deep dive as Stephen and Colleen discuss his influences, life as a NYC-based actor from Mansfield, what it’s like to play someone so opposite of yourself, and more.

The Renaissance Podcast provides a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make the Renaissance Performing Arts a vibrant part of this community. This episode can be listened to below.
