Without SU, I wouldn’t be the actor I am today. I wouldn’t be the human being I am today. Those four years were the best of my life. The friendships I formed will outlast most others. I couldn’t imagine replacing that education with anything else. Shenandoah gave me the tools I needed to persevere and the willingness to say, ‘Sure… I can do that,’ and then the persistence to go and learn how to do what I just said I could do!”

Michael is an internationally award-winning magician whose performances have literally taken him around the world!
With an education in theatre from SU, Michael’s greatest asset is the ability to combine sleight of hand technique and theatrical motivation to form a seamless evening of inspired, 熟练的, and hilarious magic. Prior to becoming a full-time magician, he traveled the country, performing theatre in regional houses from coast to coast. 从2011年到2012年, he worked full-time at the Great Plains 剧院 in Abilene, 堪萨斯, as the marketing director and a resident actor. 虽然, he was instrumental in implementing a “Shakespeare in the Schools” program, bringing classic works to area children for the first time in more than 40 years.
“First and foremost, meeting my wife, Sarah, is my fondest memory,” expressed Misko. “Also the friendships that were forged in the halls of Ruebush are the greatest of my life. It seems too, that there are no class boundaries. It’s like being in a brotherhood, so to speak. In talking with current students, most of whom do not know me, I’ve learned that we’ve got the same stories and are stressed about the same stresses! Also, from what I can remember, Apple Blossom was always a good time.”
In 2015, Michael’s two loves combined; he was hand-picked to create the role of the “Magic Maker” in the World Premiere of Stephen Schwartz’s 魔法要做 onboard Princess Cruises.
The following January, Princess embarked on an industry first and invited the original cast of 魔法要做 to record the Original Cast Album; this is unparalleled in the cruise ship industry. The album can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
目前, Michael continues his work performing for corporations and cruise ships all over the world.
