Michele is a critically acclaimed playwright from Vancouver, British Columbia. Her work has been nominated for more than 10 Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards and her first play Souvenirs won the BC Young Playwright Search. Michele came to the attention of Vancouver audiences with her critically acclaimed play Miss Teen, excerpts of which were published in Taking Stage: Canadian Women in Theatre. Her play Under the Influence went from a sell-out Fringe production to an audience favourite at The Arts Club and was most recently produced in Quebec. Her work for Green Thumb Theatre for Young People includes the children's plays Cool and The Invisible Girl, which continues to be produced throughout Canada. Her short play Clean was optioned for film by Alliance Atlantis Canada. Sexy Laundry has been a breakout hit, selling out at the Belfry in Victoria, and returning for an encore run at The Arts Club after a successful run and regional tour. Sexy Laundry has also been produced by Prairie Theatre Exchange, and will take the stage in Quebec this summer and in Ontario in 2006.

A firm believer in the transformative power of theatre, Michele’s most recent play RAGE, produced by The Vancouver East Cultural Centre, explores the difficult issues of violence and bullying in high school. Michele has also written communication campaigns supporting the end of Violence Against Women, Bullying and Racism. She is a former member of the board of directors for Turning Point Recovery Society and continues to advocate for women in recovery.
