Micki Shelton was born in New Jersey and grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona. She received her B.A. in Santa Barbara, CA and her Master's Degree from Chapman University in Orange, CA. Micki (whose other name is S. Michele McFadden) studied playwriting with John Glore (1992-1994) at South Coast Repertory where four of her short plays were produced as part of SCR's summer series: Performance of New Works. In 1994, Circles was chosen as one of six plays for the Second Annual Ashland New Plays Festival. Circles was produced by City Lights Theatre Company in San Jose, CA, in 1998. Between 1997 and 1999, four of her short plays were included in the Carmel Performing Arts Festival and she has had four plays in Arizona Women's Theatre's Pandora Festival (2007-2009). Now living in Prescott, Arizona, Micki is an active member of the Northern Arizona arts community. Along with playwright Charissa Menefee, she co-founded "Tomorrow's Theater Tonight," a monthly series of works-in-progress. Micki is past Board President of Arizona Classical Theatre (2004-2006) and served for five years (2002-2006) on the management team of the MAD Linguist, Prescott's spoken word arts venue. In 2003, Arizona Classical Theatre produced her play Amici and Scottsdale's Theatre Artists Studio is producing Medea's Ghost in February, 2010. Fred and Mary, her quasi-historical play about hotelier Fred Harvey and his chief architect and designer Mary Jane Colter is currently being presented script-in-hand across Northern Arizona in preparation for Arizona's Centennial Celebration in 2012.

Notes: | Chosen as part of the Pandora Festival, the play is yet to have a full production. | |||||
Synopsis: | Who better to observe and reflect one's foibles and frailties than one's children-especially when the foibles involve a grown woman carrying a baby doll for her inner child therapy, or a man aping the Great White Hunter to recover his lost masculinity? At a McDonald's somewhere in the Arizona desert, a chance encounter between the mother-son and father-daughter pairs of Mars and Garth and Frank and Serena is the catalytic catapult for comedy. Vegetarian Garth, with his flower-child mother, and faux-macho Frank, with his trendy NYC daughter, Serena, may seem like oil and water, but love has a way of mixing opposites. These modern-age misfits discover in one another and themselves truths they could not have found separately. The by-product of their intermingling is plenty of laughter and wincing smiles as we enjoy watching their offbeat therapies converge. | |||||
