Jordan Radis had the formidable task of portraying Ren McCormack, which is Kevin Bacon’s break-out role from the 80’s. He was able to pay homage to Kevin Bacon’s character while giving the it his own style.

This show will make you laugh and want to dance and sing to songs you haven’t hear in years but still somehow know all the words.
