Meet Mike, he might have made your skin crawl in his realistic portrayal of Peter in Bug last fall, but we swear, he's truly just a nice quiet guy! In addition to his wonderful acting work, he's also our resident playwright for 2013/2014.
Meet: Mike Aguirre

Q: Why is RSP your artistic home?
A: There is an amazing dedication to doing great work, and both Akia and Tim have been nothing but supportive towards work-shopping and developing new works. When I have a new script that's ready to be read, they go out of their way to set up the time, people, and feedback that's needed to keep writing.

Q: What was your favorite RSP Show or Role? Why?
A: I was fortunate enough to play Peter in a production of Tracy Letts' BUG last Fall, a production that was a part of the Hotel Suite. I've never played a more intense and physically demanding role. Every rehearsal was exhausting and every performance was thrilling.

Q: What are you looking forward to seeing/ experiencing with
RSP?
A: It's great to work with a company who's been around the city for so long. You meet such a wide network of family artists and friends, it feels like a community.

Q: What do you do outside of RSP?
A: Outside of RSPC, I teach GED courses (mostly math). It's actually a great exercise for my brain because teaching math is the absolute OPPOSITE of theater (and let's face it: we need a little break from theater every once in a while)

Q: Favorite Memory or experience in RSP?
A: During BUG rehearsals, Akia and the cast went upstate to a beautiful cottage for the weekend to rehearse. The city is so busy that it was almost therapeutic to have nothing to think about except the script and the story.
