ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Former AD Mike Kleba earned his MA in Theatre at Villanova University with a thesis on solo performance. No longer at the helm of NSHS Theatre, he began as an actor in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia before becoming a director and teacher. His work gravitated toward pieces about gender, race, beauty, and justice. At North Shore, he oversaw educational partnerships with Manhattan Theatre Club, Roundabout Theatre, Epic Theatre Ensemble, and Firebone Theater. He also teaches English and is a musician, writer, and speaker.
