More so, she’s grateful for the opportunity to share back with a community that has helped shape the artist she is today. Her most recent directing credits are, THE CHINESE LADY by Lloyd Suh with Capital Stage in Sacramento, MAN OF GOD by Anna Ouyang Moench with Shotgun Players in Berkeley, and BALIKBAYAN BOX by Jeffrey Lo with TheatreFIRST. Michelle is a proud member of Shotgun Players’ artistic company and a proud member of the all AAPI Bay Area theatre collective, Ferocious Lotus. Michelle is currently an adjunct professor at University of San Francisco.
