David A. Miller
Artist-in-Residence
March 2026

David A. Miller is a theatre artist, educator and director currently serving as a tenured Professor in the Division of Theatre & Dance at Bloomsburg University, where he teaches courses in directing, acting, playwriting and career seminars. Beyond the classroom work, Miller is deeply involved in new-play development: he founded and leads the “Plays in Bloom” residency program at Bloomsburg, mentoring playwrights and directing workshops of emerging works. With a practice that spans directing productions, writing original plays, and shaping theatre pedagogy, Miller’s work emphasizes collaborative creation, mentorship, and innovative models of theatre-making.  While at the Lab, David intends to explore the intersection between color and language through playwriting and visual art. During his residency, one project will include developing his play Mystic in the Savage State, which centers on the earliest studies of color-hearing in the United States.
