Michelle Brandt is currently a student at St. Edward's University (class of 2011), where she is working towards a degree in theatre arts with an emphasis in acting. Her most recent credits there include performing with Summer Stock Austin in Oklahoma! as Dream Laurie and in Batboy: The Musical! as Daisy.
Michelle has been an instrumental part of DA! since its inception, performing in Just Say DA!: Direct Object, Relative Space, and as Heron in Heron and Crane. She's also assisted with multiple classes, including this year's Droznin Workshops at TETA's TheatreFest '09 and Hill Country Middle School.
Last year, in addition to her work with DA!, Michelle was seen as a featured dancer in On the Town at St. Edward's University and as Beluga in Larius Likler at Hyde Park Theatre. A graduate of Dripping Springs High School in Dripping Springs, Texas, her favorite acting credits there include the role of Madame Thenardier in Les Miserables, Belva in The Lottery, and Gilmer in Godspell.
She spent June of 2007 & 2008 as a counselor and dance captain for the Texas Arts Project summer intensive program at St. Stephen's Episcopal School. Michelle has spent many years studying and training in classical ballet, the Cecchetti Method, tap, jazz, lyrical dance, modern dance, acting, and voice in the greater Austin area; she looks forward to growing more and more as one of central Texas' local artists.

PROJECTS
Miss Heron
Michelle has been delighting young audiences across Texas as one of the title characters in Heron and Crane opposite Jude Hickey! The kids just love her charming rhymes, her elegant dancing, and her spontaneous jazz scatting! You can experience the magic for yourself at The VORTEX Yard on weekend mornings and afternoons in April 2009!
TRANSIT THEATRE
This spring, Michelle will be participating in the debut reading of an original play by Jacob Trussell for Transit Theatre Troupe's New Works Festival. Transit is a dynamic young company that performs all kinds of shows in all sort of venues; well done, Michelle!
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. As they say in Moscow, "Zdarovya!"
