We’re pleased to introduce you to the actors in our New England Premiere production of BIG FISH.  The play tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman known for his tall tales and charismatic personality. When his adult son Will discovers he is about to become a father, he sets out to discover the truth behind his father’s larger-than-life adventures.

Longtime friend of the company Michele Teevan is serving as the Assistant Stage Manager for our production. Read our interview to learn more.

Where are you from?

Harrison, NY

Have you worked with SpeakEasy prior?

Yes, BIG FISH will be my 27th show with SpeakEasy.  I have worked in many capacities including as a Production Intern, Production Assistant and Associate Production Manager.

Could you tell us a bit about the role you are playing?

Yes, Big Fish will be my 27th show with SpeakEasy.  I have worked in many capacities including as a Production Intern, Production Assistant and Associate Production Manager.

What are you looking forward to in this process?

I am most excited about the people I will get to work with.  On a large scale musical like Big Fish it takes many people to mount a show of this size.  There will be 6 crew members working backstage to keep the show running and it will take a lot of hard work and coordination to make it all happen.

Can you share a favorite memory of a parent?

My parents have always been very supportive of my goals to work as a stage manager in theatre and have come to see most of the shows that I have worked on starting back when I was in high school.  Which seems silly since they have never actually seen me on stage but it really shows how much they care about my passion.
