About Me

Michael Costa is a collaborative and efficient administrator for all your production needs. From concept to closing, he is an invested storyteller in all facets of creation. He has served in many roles over his career, finding his niche in management and technical planning. In February of 2020, Michael left his position as Head of Design & Technology at Five Towns College to join the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene as their Production Manager/Technical Director. When the pandemic struck, in tandem with the Museum of Jewish Heritage, during this off-time, Michael served as the Lead Theatrical Consultant for the restoration and upgrade of the performance space, Edmund J. Safra Hall. Shortly after, Michael was heavily involved with the return of the Folksbiene, leading production on the Garden of the Finzi Continis (NYCO), and Harmony: A New Musical in Spring of 2022.

Currently, Michael is serving as the Production Manager of Boston Lyric Opera in Boston, MA. Recently, he mounted Bluebeard’s Castle (an immersive installation production led by Anne Bogart) and Omar (a 2023 Pulitzer Prize winner in Music). Michael takes enjoyment in new opportunities and projects, hoping to improve upon structure, organization, and communication everywhere he works.
