A regular Theatre People contributor, Michael is "thrilled" to be taking on a permanent editorial role with the site.

Michael’s inaugural performance was as a cast member of Whitehorse Musical Theatre’s production of Joseph and the Technicoloured Dreamcoat in 2002. Since this time he has been a regular on the theatre scene working with a variety of companies, most regularly with Whitehorse and Fab Nobs. Aside from acting he has also worked as director, producer, production manager and set designer. In 2007 he worked as a principal understudy in the professional run of Rogers and Hammerstein’s Carousel. Other credits include The Baker (Into The Woods), Michael (tick, tick, boom!!!!), Drake (Honk!) and Sammy (The Wedding Singer) to name a few. Show highlights include, Return To the Forbidden Planet, Les Miserables, Beauty and the Beast, West Side Story and The Scarlet Pimpernel. His most recent engagement was the role of Jesus for Mountain Districts’ Jesus Christ Superstar. Away from the stage Michael has been working as a secondary school teacher and is currently in the process of transitioning into the financial sector.

We welcome Michael to the TP team. He will be working with Melissa Trickey in our Amateur Musicals division.
