Transforming local stages

Chicago Reader: As a casting director, Miller has long advocated for nonbinary and trans representation in theater, and their commitment to LGBTQ+ visibility had deep roots even before they identified as nonbinary—or took up casting as a career. “My aunt is gay, my uncle is trans. I’ve always had trans people in my life,” says Miller, who grew up in San Diego, attended the Theatre School at DePaul University for dramaturgy, then fell into casting through an internship at Redtwist Theatre in their last year.
