Locally he has acted at ACT (Mary Stuart, Miss Witherspoon, Arcadia and as both Scrooge and Marley) and Seattle Repertory Theater (The Road to Mecca, Art and Pygmalion). The Seattle Times labeled his performances in An Enemy of the People (Taproot), Howards End (Book-It) and as Billy in Billy Bishop Goes To War at the Bathhouse Theatre as "stellar performances.”

Regional credits include Oskar Rolfe in Judgment at Nuremburg, Lord Henry Wotton in The Picture of Dorian Gray, and multiple roles in The Complete History of America (Abridged).

Greg Michaels has been privileged to interpret roles in Pinter, Rostand, Stoppard, Shakespeare and Chekov. He’s played good guys, bad boys, fools, kings and once, a warrior elf! This spring Greg pitches his historical fiction novel Casanova to New York literary agents.

At Theatre 9/12, trained and working actors, both union and non-union, continue to develop their talents and skills through workshops and performances. Their efforts climax with productions presented through the Actors’ Equity Association Members’ Project Code. Theatre 9/12 staff assists these union actors in making these projects come to life.
