Episode 209: Michael Vega - a podcast by The Yay w Norman Gee & Reg Clay

Michael Vega is currently in Hollywood and has been in movies as Cash Money, Mary and Strapped, but he has his rich theatre history here in the bay area and I’ve had the pleasure of working with him when Eastenders partnered with Theatre Rhino in 2008 for 100 Years of Queer Theatre. Michael talks about how he experienced September 11th, 2001 while in New York, his time in the bay, what he’s doing now and where he sees himself in the future.
