Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my portfolio. My name is Michelle, and I am a proud Puerto Rican from Orlando, FL. I am an educator, director, and playwright who loves to create stories on stage and in the classroom with people of all ages. I am currently based in Milwaukee, WI, working as the Associate Artistic Director for First Stage.
I graduated from the University of Central Florida with my MFA, specializing in Theatre for Young Audiences, and received my Bachelor’s in Theatre, specializing in Musical Theatre, at Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have worked as Education Associate at Mill Mountain Theatre, and in the Education Departments of the American Repertory Theatre, The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, The Orlando Repertory Theatre, and other non-profit organizations. I also spent three year in the classroom, as the Theatre Program Director for Patrick Henry High School.
As a playwright, I was a finalist in Childsplay’s Write Now Competition, and I have been commissioned to write plays for Endstation Theatre and the Orlando Repertory Theatre. I have also performed as a professional actress across the east coast.
