Miss Heron
Michelle has been delighting young audiences across Texas as one of the title characters in Heron and Crane opposite Jude Hickey!

You can experience the magic for yourself at The VORTEX Yard on weekend mornings and afternoons in April 2009!
TRANSIT THEATRE

OUR RUSSIAN LINEAGE
Not only does Michelle perform, she's a scholar and designer, too! She's been taking classes this year in Russian literature (always a plus for DA! members!) and she recently designed period-appropriate props for the St. Edward's production of Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters.
