A little from Meg:

About Me
Hello! I’m Meg Miller, a theater director and performer with extensive onstage and
behind-the-scenes experience across Europe, Australia, and the USA. I bring passion,
creativity, and a collaborative spirit to every production I undertake.
My Directorial Work – Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of shaping stories and guiding talented casts and crews. Some of my directing credits include:
Life X3 (Elden Street Players)
Once Upon a Clothesline (Elden Street Players)
Fairytales in Training* (Elden Street Players’ TFYA)* – written and directed by me
Five Women Wearing the Same Dress (Loudoun Theatre Company)
Supercilious (Loudoun Theatre Company) Each
of these productions has deepened my understanding of stagecraft, ensemble dynamics,
and the power of storytelling.
Onstage Highlights
I’m equally passionate about performing. Notable roles I’ve had include:
Three Penny Opera at Elden Street Players (USA)
The Women, and The Museum at Reston Community Players (USA)
Hamlet, Hedda Gabler, and The Drover in Australia
These varied roles have honed my acting skills, from classical texts to contemporary
works, and have enriched my directorial perspective.
My Approach
I believe in fostering a collaborative, respectful rehearsal environment.
I prioritize clear communication, adaptable planning, and creative problem-solving.
I’m committed to telling diverse stories that resonate with audiences of all backgrounds.
