Oh, hello!

Charmed, I'm sure. 

I'm Mychal, a stage actor from Arizona currently living in New Jersey.

When I'm not acting, you can most likely find me napping, playing Fallout, or ranting about the latest Magic: the Gathering news to my wife.

I also enjoy reading, reviewing, editing, and writing plays, but "what I really want to do is direct."

Who Am I?

I have been a loyal student of the theatre for over 16 years. After my grandmother Roxanne took note of my fascination with celebrity impressions and dressing up as Batman, she enrolled me in a summer youth performance of Cinderella in 2007, where I made the audience weep with laughter (and wept himself) as Town Cryer #2.

​

It was at Mountain Ridge High School where a casual interest became a passionate obsession. I performed in seventeen shows over the course of four years, perhaps most notably in Our Town, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Legally Blonde, and Disney's Beauty and the Beast. I found an equal interest in working behind the scenes as a set builder and eventually designer for The Addams Family and assistant directing the Steven Dietz play Still Life with Iris. I also wrote a one act play entitled A Matter of Life and Death, for which I received the Jerome McDonough Playwrighting Award in 2013 and sparked my interest in writing.

​

After graduating from high school, I made the journey from Arizona to New York City, to go to AMDA. As an alumnus, I appeared Off-Broadway as Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow the Musical, Clyde Barrow in Bonnie and Clyde, and even sang. a little in Broadway's living room, Feinstein's/54 Below. More regional roles include Gomez Addams in The Addams Family, Monty Navarro in A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, and Jimmy Winter in the Arizona state debut of Nice Work if You Can Get It.

​

Most recently, I appeared in the North American Tour of Little Women as Professor Bhaer, produced by Big League Productions​.  I currently live in New Jersey with my lovely wife Heidi and our dog Atticus Finch.
