Micah J Maatman has been on the Gustavus Theatre and Dance Faculty since 2007 as the Assistant Professor of Design and Technology. Micah received his B.A. in Theatre from Hope College in Holland, Michigan and holds an M.F.A. in Theatrical Design with emphasis in Scenic Design from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
