Michaela Catapano is a quick-witted, firecracker musical theatre artist from Long Island, NY. Michaela is a lesbian and neurodivergent, and she strives to make both identities an integral part of her career as an artist and activist.

She grew up idolizing queer icons, especially Judy Garland, in her formative years, making her time playing Dorothy in THE WIZARD OF OZ with Ocean City Theatre Company especially cherished.
