Michelle Calhoun-Fitts's Profile

(Director/Egeus - D.G. Menchetti Young Shakespeare Program) A semi-recent transplant from Southern California, Ms. Calhoun-Fitts comes to the D.G.

She is also an Executive Board Member/Announcer for Northern Nevada’s first flat-track Roller Derby League, The Battle Born Derby Demons, and she creates crocheted hats and accessories for a variety of local boutiques…and this is in her spare time.
