Angela Birchett is a proud native of Detroit, Michigan, where her love for singing and performing was nurtured, groomed and encouraged from a young age. In 1994 she was exposed to her first acting opportunity and has been bitten by the “theatre bug” ever since. She played the role of Missy in a production of Purlie under the direction of Rick Sperling, President of The Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit.

While attending Kentucky State University she completed a Bachelors of Music Education and another in Vocal Performance. In her summers off she did summer stock theatre (Stephen Foster the Musical, Showboat, Once On This Island). She returned to Detroit in 2003 and began her career as a music teacher. While at Paul Robeson Academy she created a vocal music department complete with a choir, small chamber ensemble, recorder ensemble and several soloists

In 2005 she had the opportunity to join the National Tour of Smokey Joe’s Café as a replacement and as life would have it that launched her into a full time career ever since. Some of her favorite shows to date are Asaka in Once On This Island, Effie White in Dreamgirls, Crystal in Little Shop of Horrors and Motormouth Maybelle in Hairspray. Angela continues to share her gifts all across America and abroad.
