Jackson recently played YOUNGER BROTHER in Metropolis PAC's production of Ragtime!
Ragtime was Directed by Jerrell L. Henderson, Music Directed by Aaron Zimmerman, and Choreographed by DeShaun Peters. Ragtime ran May 4th - June 4th at the Metropolis Performing Arts Center in Arlington Heights! "Recent graduate Mikkelsen is spot-on as a budding idealist who finds direction when he joins African Americans and Jewish immigrants in their struggle for civil rights."
- Barbara Vitello, Northwest Daily Herald "Jackson Mikkelsen as Mother’s Younger Brother, shows a percussive recognition of an innocent, naive and restless soul who becomes a sympathetic revolutionary. He is another strong performer." - Regina Belt Daniels, Shaw Local Northwest Herald |
