A first-year Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting major from Locust Grove, Virginia, Michael Clay, Jr. is thrilled to be a part of his first show at Shenandoah Conservatory. He has had a blast learning from this incredibly talented cast and crew and has enjoyed the privilege of working with such a phenomenal director — he could not have asked for a better experience!

Prior roles include Prince Dauntless in Once Upon a Mattress, Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream and Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, a role for which he was named Outstanding Actor at the VHSL 4D North Theatre Festival.
