Loyola to audition for a little play by Nick Digilio and Mike Meredith entitled Alive. It was then when I became hooked with storefront theater. I have many memories of that space and to this day I still feel a strong personal attachment to it. Since then the Factory has morphed into many different shapes and sizes, but the song still remains the same: write it and they will come."       Michael's acting credits with the Factory include: Alive; White Trash Wedding and a Funeral; Being at Choice; Win, Place, or Show; FAT!; The Death and Life of Barb Budonovich; and Sketch Fest 2004. Michael penned Endzone the Factory's last show of the twentieth century; and in 2000 he directed Kevin Rich's Variations on Death.
