Michael Barker was raised in Arkansas and Tennessee, educated in Minnesota and lives in Chicago, from whence he flies once a month to North Carolina for visits with his muse, Aggie.
Barker, as he is commonly known, received his BA in Theatre Arts and Japanese from Carleton College , if for no other reason than to pretend to comprehend contemporary Japanese theater.
In a past life, Barker interned with the Marketing and Press departments at the Goodman Theatre and was the Box Office and House Manager at American Theater Company . He is currently the Marketing Associate at Court Theatre , and will be enrolling in Yale School of Drama 's Theater Management MFA program in the fall.
He can never do one thing at a time.
Only two.
Barker has improvised with and coached various supergroups including The State of Delaware and Wing Night.
A semi-closeted playwright, he is currently finishing Angst Pointe High: A High School Farce for Adults (working title) , co-written with two old buddies from his heavy-use improv days.
He's super excited to meet you.
