Wednesday Breakfast: Kayla Michael: Family, Transition & Things We Know to Be True

Arts, LGBTQIA+, Performing Arts

Actor Kayla Michael joins JOY Breakfast to chat about Things I Know to Be True, the powerful new production at Williamstown Little Theatre exploring love, identity, and the evolving ties that bind families together.
In this heartfelt interview, Kayla shares how the play sensitively tackles themes like transitioning, relationship breakdowns, and sibling dynamics—all through the lens of a working-class Adelaide family. She reflects on playing Rosie, the youngest of four adult children navigating her own heartbreak while witnessing major life changes around her.
We talk queer representation, community theatre magic, and why this play is such a vital conversation starter in today’s climate. Grab tissues—it’s as moving as it is meaningful.
