It´s an honor to welcome Michele Shay,
actress, director, educator and longtime interpreter of August Wilson´s work. Michele is commited to the transformative power of storytelling, and works exploring the spiritual dimensions of theatre.
We met at the IBTS (International Black Theatre Summit) and she gifted me a bit of her time to talk about her journey in acting, the experience on the continent, inspirations, spiritual work as an actor and much more.
