Michael Page

Michael Page was born in England and attended King's College, University of London, where he studied English Literature, and from which he holds a Ph.D. in American Literature. He came to the U.S. in 1971 to teach at Western Michigan University, and five years later became Associate Director of the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre, where he stayed until 1987. For the past thirteen years since joining Actor's Equity he has been freelancing as an actor, director, teacher, public speaking coach, and narrator and director of audiobooks. He has performed in many theatres in Michigan but divides his time principally between the BoarsHead Theatre in Lansing and the Peterborough Players in New Hampshire, where he recently finished a run of Our Town which featured James Whitmore and Mary Beth Hurt. He has taught and/or been a guest artist/artist in residence at Ferris State University, GVSU, Aquinas College, Hope College (where last year he performed the title role in Lessing's Nathan the Wise), and at Calvin (the CAS production of Translations). He is now delighted to be teaching full-time in the CAS Department.
