THRAPP THEATRICS
Thrapp Theatrics is a three-time Emmy® nominated production company founded by Emmy® winner Jacki Thrapp.
This scrappy production company is known for disrupting the entertainment industry with affordable commercial productions that generate the same buzz as big budget powerhouses.
Lighthouse: An Immersive Drinking Musical ran Off-Broadway from July 2023 - September 2023 after a sold-out run at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The Edinburgh Evening News listed the show as a “Must See” production in Scotland and New York critics named the Irish-American show one of the “Top Off-Broadway Shows” of the summer in 2023 on both Show Score and TDF. The book, lyrics and music are by Jacki Thrapp with additional material by Billy Recce. Select songs from the Off-Broadway production will be available St. Patrick’s Day 2024.
Gianmarco Soresi’s Shelf Life was executive produced by Thrapp Theatrics in 2020 and received three Emmy® nominations in 2021 for “Best Director,” “Best Performer” and “Best Set Design.” NPR claimed the documentary stand-up special is a “fascinating snapshot” of where stand-up comedy was during the pandemic. The film became a top comedy special on Amazon Prime in the fall of 2020 and debuted in the top 10 on the Apple Music Comedy Charts in 2021. The album received “honorable mention” in the 2020 Comedy/Novelty category of the International Songwriting Competition (ISC).
Hanukkah Haunting made the second round in the 2020 Austin Film Festival’s Fiction Podcast Competition. The script was picked up by Audible and can be streamed with an all-star cast including Sarah Natochenny (the voice of Ash Ketchum in Pokémon), two-time Tony nominee Alison Fraser and Mike Pollock (the voice of Doctor Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog series).
Christmas Pitch, a Hallmark movie parody audio-only, can be streamed on Audible as well.

Jacki Thrapp got started in the entertainment business very early by attending a college film program during high school. She won back-to-back regional Skills USA competitions for broadcasting (placed 2nd in state both years) and was picked as “best witness” in back-to-back regional Mock Trial competitions in 2009 and 2010.

The news station was located approx. 14 miles outside of town on a land lot surrounded by farms. Jacki was quickly offered a job as an executive producer/fill-in anchor at the CBS affiliate in Grand Junction, CO (KREX) from 2012 - 2014.
She moved to Denver and was a morning producer at Channel 2/Fox 31 Denver from 2014 - 2016 then transferred to be a writer and fill-in producer at the local CW news station in NYC (WPIX) where she won an Emmy award for writing!
