Ms. Miller received her first OBIE for NASTY RUMORS AND FINAL REMARKS, produced in New York by Joseph Papp at the Public Theatre, as were her plays, FOR DEAR LIFE and FLUX (also produced by Second Stage). Ms. Miller received a second OBIE, as well as the shared 1994/95 Blackburn Prize, for her critically acclaimed one woman play, MY LEFT BREAST which premiered in Actor’s Theatre of Louisville’s Humana Festival, directed by Nela Wagman. Ms. Miller has performed the play in such prestigious theatres as Trinity Repertory Co.; The Walnut Street Theatre; Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati; Theatre J in Washington, D.C. She also performed MY LEFT BREAST at the Skirball Center in Los Angeles as a Benefit for Gilda’s Club, sponsored by Nissan. The Honorary Benefit Committee included Rosie O’Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Matt Le Blanc, and Jennifer Aniston, among others. MY LEFT BREAST had its international premiere in Paris at Le Foyer-Theatre Du Palais-Royal. Her play 20th CENTURY BLUES directed by Emily Mann, had a successful Off-Broadway run in the 2017/18 season and also played at Invisible Theatre, directed by Susan Claassen. Ms. Miller served as Consulting Producer/Writer on the first season of the acclaimed SHOWTIME series, “The L Word” and ABC’S “Thirtysomething.” She is the Executive Producer/Writer with Tina Cesa Ward of the highly acclaimed Indie web series “Anyone But Me” which won the Writers Guild of America Award and has over 80 million views worldwide.

TO-REE-NEE-WOLF, an internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist, singer-songwriter and actor, is Invisible Theatre’s beloved artistic associate and “Renaissance Woman”. She first graced IT’s stage in BLACK BOY and has been a treasured member ever since! She has also appeared in IT’s productions of THE OLD SETTLER, HAVING OUR SAY, THE DELANY SISTERS’ FIRST HUNDRED YEARS, MY SUNDAY DINNER WITH NORMA, her one woman WALKING BETWEEN WORLDS, LET’S LIVE A LITTLE, and the award-winning BLACK PEARL SINGS! To-Ree-Nee was featured in 20th CENTURY BLUES, and most recently in GLORIA – A LIFE. Her magnificent CD had been released with original songs and reimagined classics. To-Ree-Nee completed two murals at the MSA annex – “American Dream” and “At the Altar of the Ancestors.” She notes that with “At the Altar of the Ancestors”, To-Ree-Nee says, “We are all the beauty of a diverse society, the strength of a diverse society. We have to honor and acknowledge our history. It’s important to me who I choose to be in the world. I choose to inhabit a world where I add to the light of things. My mother taught me to leave it better than I found it. My grandmother was the kind of woman who helped her neighbors. I come from a family that is proactive. There are a lot of things I can’t fix. But in my small sphere right here, this is what I can do. People have a visceral response to beauty. Our souls are uplifted and sustained.”
