You've reached the website of Michael Curasi, actor and geek extraordinaire. Here I have posted my ever-evolving acting resume, a calendar of upcoming performances, my demo and voice reels and pictures from various projects.
About Me
I am a male actor residing in western New York State. I have a dual BA in Theatrical Performance and Sociology from the top-ranked New York State University at Geneseo, where I graduated Magna cum Laude. Recently I spent a year getting intensive acting coaching from renowned Broadway and film actress Rita Gardner, who learned to teach from Uta Hagen herself. I am classically trained for stage performance and have been studying, performing and teaching improvisational comedy and drama for more than twelve years (most notably with Unleashed! in Rochester, NY and Red Tie Mafia and Hard Out in NYC), and I have been featured in numerous indie films, television pilots and commercials. I also just recently completed the improvisational comedy curriculum at the acclaimed Magnet Improv Theater in Manhattan.
