Hi! I’m Maya!

(but most people call me Mickey)

A little bit about me…

Maya “Mickey” Michalski got their start as Annie at the age of 10, and they haven’t stopped since! Mickey was raised in DFW Texas, surrounded by performance opportunities and education. They studied Musical Theatre at Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts and found “theatrical homes” in local theaters such as Casa Manana, Stage West, and Wishing Star Stage Co.

As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Mickey loves using the stage as a platform to discover and express herself while bringing light to queer stories. She also has a physical disability, but it’s not slowing her down. Mickey is excited to be a part of this new wave of ability-inclusive theater. Since moving to the Big Apple, Michalski had become a regular performer at 54 Below and The Greenroom 42.

When not performing, they can be found baking Pie Crust Cookies at Janie’s, making some new clothes for herself, or nerding out about Joni Mitchell!
