Directing immersive theatre means living somewhere between storytelling, crowd psychology, improvisation, leadership, and beautifully controlled chaos. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of directing thousands of performances, collaborating with hundreds of actors, and creating experiences for audiences ranging from intimate VIP events to massive interactive productions. Along the way, casts, clients, and collaborators have said some incredibly kind, hilarious, and oddly accurate things about my directing style and honestly, they probably explain me better than I ever could myself!

Micaela is everything you could want in a director: kind, empathetic, passionate, deeply dedicated to both craft and her actors’ wellbeing, and an incredible leader. Through the power of play and fun actor exercises, she not only pushes you to be better, but makes you feel supported while doing so. When emergencies arise, she also isn’t afraid to jump right in, roll up her sleeves, and help her actors dig out. It is no surprise that the New York troupe is one of the most successful in the country—in large part because of the systems, training, and support network she created and implemented.

Micaela is a powerhouse director in every area! Her communication is top notch and she will always take care of her actors. This doesn’t mean she coddles them though. She consistently pushes her actors to make new, bigger choices while keeping their foundational skills sharp. Her continued dedication and unwavering work ethic is something I’ve seen in very few people in my life. She builds a life of magic for herself with her hard work and teaches those around her to do so as well. I can honestly say I have never met a harder working, more passionate person in my life. If you get the opportunity to work with her she will change your perspective on living and working in this industry. She’s also hilarious in ways I’ve never even considered and so incredibly aware of everything happening around her. She has pushed me in so many ways and given me feedback to help me realize my potential. 100/10 recommend working with her. Whether you’re a producer or actor, she never disappoints!

Micaela is the best director I’ve ever worked with. She is a strong, organized, empathetic leader who always prioritizes the well-being of her actors artistically, financially, and emotionally. Micaela takes every opportunity to help her actors grow and reach their goals, and she consistently recommends her troupe for outside opportunities. Her rehearsals are extremely efficient without compromising on community, question time, or fun! Her value of a strong, prepared, creative and kind community regularly gets her actors and shows five-star reviews!
