Stories from the Space Between Us Creative

Producer, Director

Michelle Britton

MICHELLE BRITTON (Producer) A seasoned actress, Michelle has a wealth of experience in producing, directing, teaching, writing, coaching, and event coordination. She is delighted to launch Lionwoman Productions as an opportunity through relationships, to shine the light on less-heard and less-understood voices in our communities, and invites amazing artists to explore projects that celebrate a like-minded passion for positive change, especially around equal access and opportunity for all. Theater is a transforming experience, expanding our mindsets, if we are willing. It takes courage to look honestly, and to recognize the human being looking back at us. Truth be told, we all walk in courage. Lionwoman invites you to recognize that strength in each of us.
