Broadway Beckoned: UNI Man Seeks Big Break In NYC
Michael Robertson, UNI 1968 graduate and former Webster City high school drama teacher, sold his car and moved to New York City to pursue acting. He works as an NBC tour guide while studying acting, sharing a 12 by 18 foot, two and a half room apartment near Greenwich Village. He found a temporary job at a Jewish day camp to support himself, and later joined the Alice Workshop Theater in Greenwich Village after a stint as an NBC tour guide. His experiences include meeting celebrities, memorizing a 60 page script in a week, and performing improvised radio bits for visitors, all while pursuing bigger acting opportunities.
