Michael Dotson - Director
Michael Dotson (Director) –You may remember seeing Michael on stage in THE ANDREWS BROTHERS (Lawrence Andrews) and FOREVER PLAID (Frankie) here at ATI. He is so proud and thankful to be working again with such a great company, but from the other side of the footlights. Over the course of his career he has been a Director, Assistant Director, Assistant Choreographer, Dance Captain, Stage Manager and Actor in close to 100 productions. On top of all that, Michael is in the process of writing a new musical giving audiences a backstage peek into the daily drama of a national touring show. Other Directing credits include FOREVER PLAID and CINDERELLA. Michael can’t begin to thank Don, Judy and Cindy enough for this wonderful opportunity to bring GODSPELL to life for a new audience. He dedicates this production to his 97 year old grandmother, who recently passed away, for helping to instill in him the drive to follow his own path to reach his dreams. LSL-JPA
