About Milt
A Miami Gardens native who has been based in NYC and South Florida throughout the artist journey. A lifetime performer, if ice hockey and lacrosse are considered.
Milton sports a deep love for the theatre and the curiosity inherent in craft development.
It's tough to tell when this journey began. There was the Disney on Ice show enjoyed as a 3 year old, a moment when the student audience's eyes lit up during a Performance in Children's Literature undergrad course, and eventually the endless inquiries from mentees asking if he was, in fact, an actor.
At whichever point the journey began, the opportunities to experience these creative drivers are duly cherished.
Essentially...Milton's a quintessential team player who wants to learn about what you do and how to make those production steps successful.
