My Story
Howdy! I'm Michaela, born and raised in Queens (like Spiderman), I'm just your friendly neighborhood theatre kid. From a young age I've had a passion for performance, and over time developed appreciation and interest in design, direction, and management. Basically I love wearing many hats, and being a jack-of-all-trades. As a professional I am seeking both creative and administrative jobs, especially on the developmental level. At this point in my career I would certainly benefit from elements of mentorship/apprenticeship and guidance. I would also love to participate in workplaces that foster community, like a repertory or collective. I'm rather loyal and love getting to collaborate with the same folks on multiple projects when I get the chance. My favorite kinds of shows are big Broadway musicals, and dark comedies (for example, ...Spelling Bee, Next to Normal, Bad Jews, Peter and the Starcatcher.) This industry is headed in a very queer and open new direction and I want nothing more than to be a part of it: bringing fresh, diverse, important stories to the stage, while having fun along the way. My stage management professor taught us that our most important tool is a good sense of humor, and I try to live by that.
