“Micha is a highly trusted collaborator and an asset to every rehearsal room. Having had the pleasure of working with her on several projects, she has grown to be a presence I deeply value, particularly in the knotty throws of new work development. She is gentle and fierce in equal measure, and her performative instincts are captivating. She is one of the most generous actors I’ve had the pleasure of working with.” Roisin Mccay-Hines, director.
