Congratulations to Theatre School alum and faculty member
Yasmin Zacaria Mikhaiel (BFA Dramaturgy/Criticism ’17) on being named a Rising Leader of Color in theatre journalism and criticism by Theatre Communications Group!
Yasmin is one of three early-career journalists and critics selected for this prestigious national cohort, which provides a year of professional development, networking opportunities, and participation in the National Critics Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center.
As a dramaturg, arts journalist, and cultural producer, Yasmin’s work amplifies stories that are often lost, overlooked, or excluded from mainstream narratives, rooted in community, identity, and joy. Their writing has appeared in American Theatre, Chicago Reader, Teen Vogue, In These Times, and beyond.
We’re proud to have Yasmin as an alum and faculty member at The Theatre School. Earlier this year, they made their Broadway debut as Cultural Competency Trainer and Education Consultant for the Tony-nominated production of English at Roundabout Theatre Company, and they continue to lead with vision and heart through their creative agency, BIYA BIYA.
