Bess Miller

I'm an NYC-based AEA actor, writer and teaching artist. Originally from Ann Arbor Michigan, I studied theatre at Barnard College and at BADA in London; I hold my MFA in Acting from The New School for Drama.

 

In New York City I have performed in productions of Macbeth and A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Sheen Center - as well as with various companies including New Perspectives Theatre Company, Seven Stages Shakespeare, The Technodramatists, LaMicro Theater and the Writopia Lab Festival. 

 

Just across the river in NJ, I have acted frequently with Hudson Theatre Works in Weehawken (where Burr shot Hamilton!) I have also worked as an actor and teaching artist with Speranza Theatre Company, as a guest teacher and artist for Keane University/Premier Stages and as an actor and reader at Centenary Stage Co.

​

I spent several years in Chicago training and performing in improv and sketch comedy. While there I performed weekly at the iO Theatre and with many other improv and sketch teams at Second City's Donny's Skybox and The Playground Theatre.

​

I'm based in NYC with two wonderful cats who keep each other company whenever I have to travel - to my great relief.
