ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT

Having a keen interest in theater and after attending a summer drama program at the University of Cincinnati, he sought and was awarded a Rockefeller grant to UC’s Theater Arts program, where he earned an M.A. in Theater Arts. He became more interested in writing than acting, and wrote off and on for a number of years. During the past dozen years, he has written three full-length plays and two one-acts. His first CPI reading, staged in January 2022, was the full-length play, The Circle. Michael is married with three children.
