Read all about it here  What brought you to acting? My mom loved watching old TV musicals and I grew up watching my older brother in musicals. I also sang a lot in choirs and small groups around town, so the desire to perform came naturally. Acting in high school was my way of doing something different from the music performing I knew. What did 10-year-old Malkia think she'd be when she grew up? I remember not knowing what I wanted when I was ten and was so frustrated that I couldn't figure it out. I guess I should have gotten a clue from all the pretend soap opera scenes I played out by myself in my room!  What is the greatest challenge that you anticipate in playing Titania and Hippolyta in A Midsummer Night's Dream? For each of them, connecting the dots throughout their journey, and finding the playfulness when both of them can be so serious. What do you hope that Shakespeare in the Park fans will take away from A Midsummer Night's Dream? That Shakespeare can be enjoyed by all ages! And, hopefully, those new to Shakespeare will enjoy the show and understand the storyline. Who should play you in the feature film of your life? Zoe Saldana or a younger Sanaa Lathan. What Shakespeare character do you most resemble? Cleopatra. What's your superpower? Keeping a mental calendar...for everyone in my family! Tragedy, comedy or history? Tragedy. Truth or dare? Truth. Guilty pleasure? Splitting a pint of Luna and Larry's Salted Caramel Coconut Ice Cream with my husband while watching episodes of "A Different World!" More about Malkia:
Malkia is making her Milwaukee Shakespeare in the Park debut this year. She is native of Milwaukee and former Milwaukee Rep intern (2005/2006).
