ABOUT THE ACTORS
Type 2 - A Tragic Comedy
Cast
Jasmine Platt..........Michelle J. Mainwaring
Michael Platt...........Jason Gale
Michelle J. Mainwaring is an award winning dramatic actress for her role of "Annie Wilkes" in Simon Moore's adaptation of Stephen King's classic "Misery". Michelle is also the artistic director of her own entertainment company in Windsor, where she has built an amazing reputation in Southern Ontario as a comedic actress without equal. In "Type 2" Michelle utilizes all of her incredible abilities to play the tragic heroine "Jasmine Platt", a role that was written specifically for her.
Jason Gale is a Toronto based Actor/Playwright who has built a reputation for hard work and dedication to his craft. Doing a lot of original stage productions to hone his skills, Jason caught the "writing bug" which eventually led to him writing "Type 2". Because Jason suffers from bipolar disorder himself, he is thrilled his work is helping so many others with this illness.
