Hello Pine-Richland Middle School Musical Parents & Students,
My name is Jamie Miller, and I’m so excited to be your 2023-2024 Middle School musical director! Last year in my work on Legally Blonde I saw the true dedication of the students to their craft and I know this year will be the same! I am really looking forward to meeting each of you and making this year's musical just as wonderful.

A little about me. I was a musical theater major at Savannah College of Art and Design. I currently own Perform Pittsburgh Theater School, where I write, produce and direct multiple shows per year. I was also a gymnastics choreographer for the past 10 years at Jewarts gymnastics, leading me to open Mars Gymnastics to continue teaching the sport. I myself am trained in dance
(ballet, jazz, tap, pointe) and tumbling. I teach voice, acting and gymnastics classes to ages 3-18 as my full-time job.

Before opening my school, I was part of a theatrical rock band who played many shows throughout northeast America. However, rock was not where I belonged. I belong in the theater, and I belong teaching children. Watching them hone their craft and surprise themselves with all they are capable of is what I truly love. It has allowed me to write over 30 shows in just three years, and to grow our small theater into a 7,000 square foot performing arts center.

Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to continue growing and to use my skill set in a public school setting. Pine-Richland has been more than welcoming, and I just know our new parents and students will be the same. See the information packet or visit Audition Page to learn about the audition process and what we hope to see in the coming weeks before beginning our Spring Show. Thank you so much for your interest in the Middle School musical!
