After being cast in HAMLET, the Globe was able to grant Micah the budget and support he needed to research, design, build and engineer a 12 foot tall puppet to fill the role of the Ghost of Hamlet’s Father.
Given Micah’s abiding love for both Shakespeare and the art of puppetry, this was a rare opportunity to marry his two passions together.

Cast in Last Days of Judas Iscariot
Micah recently accepted the role of EL FAYOUMY the womanizing comic prosecutor in Stephen Adly Gurgis’ provocative, metaphysical courtroom tragicomedy THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT, to be produced by the Royal Pretenders at the Sam Bass Theatre in Round Rock (North Austin) TX at the end of next month.
Micah was originally cast in the role of Jesus but director Rob Morris of North Carolina’s School of the Arts quickly moved him into the comic relief. Rehearsals are well underway and the cast is looking forward to the process of discovering the issues addressed in the text.
