Bruce Miller is Artistic Director of Barksdale Theatre and Founding Artistic Director of Theatre IV. He is recognized for his work in stage direction, play-writing, arts in education, and human services. He served on the leadership teams that established the Richmond Boys Choir, the Acts of Faith Festival, and the Richmond Theatre Artists Fund.

With partner Phil Whiteway, he was named by STYLE Weekly in 1999 as one of the 100 Most Influential Richmonders of the Century. In 2006, both men became the first theatre professionals to receive the Theresa Pollak Award from Richmond Magazine for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts. In 2008, both men were honored with the Governor’s Award for the Arts.

Bruce’s work as a stage director has been seen around the nation at prominent theatres including the Kennedy Center. Richmond directing credits include Barksdale’s productions of Smoke on the Mountain, The Lark, Anything Goes, Annie Get Your Gun, The Crucible and The Little Foxes, and Theatre IV’s pro-ductions of Having Our Say, Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, Do Lord Remember Me, and the company’s first Wizard of Oz. In the final two decades of the Phoebe Awards presented by the Richmond times-Dispatch, Bruce’s productions earned Best Play or Best Musical of the Year 20 times. Bruce

was named Best Director of the Year six times. Last fall, he received the first Richmond Theatre Critics Circle Award as Best Director for Barksdale’s The Little Dog Laughed.

Bruce is co-author of Hugs and Kisses, the child sexual abuse prevention play that is now in the 26th year of its record-breaking run. His play Buffalo Soldier was selected by the Pentagon as a morale booster after 9/11, becoming the first professional play in history to be performed within the Pentagon’s walls.

For his national leadership in child abuse prevention, Bruce received the Commissioner’s Award from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. For his statewide leader-ship in education, Bruce received the Excellence in Arts Instruction Award from the Virginia Board of Education.

Bruce served as site reporter for three years with the National Endowment for the Arts and professional youth theatre panelist for two years with the Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Fund in New York City. He is privileged to credit three teachers as mentors: Jack Welsh, and the late Marion Waymack and Bernard Schutte.

Bruce is an elder and liturgist at Bon Air Presbyterian Church. His greatest blessings will always be his wife (artist and designer Terrie Powers Miller) and their two wonderful children.

Phil co-founded Theatre IV in 1975, and continues to serve as Managing Direcctor. He was named to the same position at Barksdale Theatre in 2001. His allegiance to Barksdale began in 1977, when he originated the role of Moss Hart in the world premiere of Red Hot and Cole. Phil moved to Virginia from his New Jersey home to earn a B.S. from the University of Richmond’s School of Business Administration. When professors on the other side of the lake learned that he could sing and dance, he was courted by the theatre program, and wound up adding a BA in Theatre to his business resume. In 1995, Phil was appointed by the University to the Committee of 50 to advise devel-opment efforts associated with the University’s capital campaign to con-struct the Modlin Fine Arts Center.

After graduation, Phil entered the Navy flight program in Pensacola, Florida and was commissioned as an Ensign. Following his military service, he returned to Richmond and starred in numerous shows at Swift Creek Mill Playhouse and the Haymarket Dinner Theatre. For television, he appeared opposite Fritz Weaver in Ironclads, Mary Tyler Moore in Lincoln, and Richard Chamberlain in Dream West.

Phil is a graduate of Leadership Metro Richmond, and currently serves on their Board of Directors. He has served as a Trustee of his church and the Broad

Street Association. He is active with the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, and has participated in annual Chamber leadership visits to many of our nation’s major cities.

Phil was a founding member of the Board of Directors of the Richmond Arts Consortium. He has served/serves on the Governance Board of Partners in the Arts (central Virginia’s arts-in-edu-cation cooperative) and grant review panels for the Virginia Commission for the Arts.

Phil served as Secretary/Treasurer of the Board of Directors of Virginians for the Arts, the statewide nonprofit orga-nization that manages arts advocacy efforts across the Commonwealth. He was named Outstanding Young Citizen by the Richmond Jaycees in 1990, and received the Community Builders Award from the Central Virginia Lodge of Masons. In 1999, STYLE Weekly selected Phil as one of their 100 Most Influential Richmonders of the Century. He received the Governor’s Award for the Arts in 2008.

Phil is thankful for the love, support and patience he receives from his wife (actress and realtor Donna Holmes Whiteway) and their four terrific chil-dren.

Patti D’BeckWith the greatest affection and respect, we dedicate this production to the memory of Murray DePillars, artist, educator, jazz lover, mentor and friend. Murray was Dean of the Arts at VCU when we purchased the historic Empire Theatre in 1986. Without his encouragement and support, the acquisition would never have happened. Murray’s many contributions to the arts in Richmond will benefit our community for decades to come. He will not be forgotten.

Barksdale Theatre would like to thank the Swift Creek Mill Theatre, TheatreVCU, University of Richmond, University of Virginia, Vanessa Passini, Sam Byers and Bill Crenshaw for their assistance in this production.
