MIKELA RAE ANDERSON
ME, PRESENTLY:
Hello! :)
If you haven't guessed yet my name is Mikela and I'm an Actor, Playwright, and certified Orange Dinosaur Earring Lover about to graduate with my Acting B.F.A. from the University of Minnesota - Duluth this Spring 2022! I got my start performing in the 7th grade as a Jock/Skater in High School Musical Jr. (as we all do) and I haven't stopped since. I have a particular passion for new and thoughtful plays, as well as silly, goofy, no-thoughts-at-all plays where I can make people laugh (I'm a Leo, what do you expect?).
Outside of acting, my other loves are playwrighting, sewing, drawing, being cozy, playing Breath of the Wild on my switch, and dying many times, my cats, my future cats, my beautiful partner, my friends, and chicken pasta salad.
Thank you for stopping by!
